At Ronnie Scott's....

Saturday 25th July
GILAD ATZMON WITH STRINGS
presents.... the music of Charlie Parker

Ronnie Scott's is privileged to welcome back the Israeli-born saxophonist to perform the music of arguably the greatest alto sax player in jazz history - Charlie Parker. As jazz critic Phil Johnson notes "while most jazz tribute projects are dry as dust, Gilad Atzmon's marvellous evocation of Charlie Parker's legendary 1949 Verve recording with strings somehow succeeds in conveying Bird's mercurial genius, as well as accurately re-presenting what counts as some of the most profoundly beautiful music ever made."
