Mon 18th-Wed 20th May: The Dizzy Gillespie All Stars feat. James Moody

Ronnei Scott's - History has produced its share of great artists and great people - John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was both. As a performer, he left behind an incredible record of innovation and inspiration; as a composer, a broad repository of musical masterpieces; and as a man, a legion of friends, colleagues and compatriots who remember him with the same degree of love and esteem they reserve for his work. James Moody and Locksley ‘Slide’ Hampton lead this truly ‘all-star’ band of international players - a veritable who’s who among jazz musicians continuing the legacy of the great trumpeter and his music.
