Ronnie Scott Legacy Quartet

The Quartet. The band originally came together for the Christmas 1996 season at Ronnie Scott’s Club in London shortly before Ronnie’s death.

John Critchenson (still the band leader) and saxophonist Pat Crumly (who sadly died in 2008) felt that the Quartet could convey to the many fans away from London and the Club the true legacy of Ronnie Scott – GOOD MUSIC, GOOD TASTE with GOOD HUMOUR – so consequently, from the summer of 1997 and until 2002 they toured the UK several times (in 2001 they played a sell-out tour of New Zealand ). After a brief spell of inactivity the Quartet last year resumed playing selected gigs around the UK under the banner of ‘Ronnie Remembered – A Tribute to Ronnie Scott’) and has reissued a CD (originally entitled ‘Excuse Me, Do I Know You’ – Jazzhouse JHCD056) on JAZZIZIT called ‘Ronnie Remembered’. John Brings together this small group from the original Ronnie’s days to remember with style their late friends.
