Ronnie Scott's All Stars .... 1959 - the year that shaped jazz

1959: The Year that Shaped Jazz is at the Key Theatre in Peterborough on Saturday, February 18.

From Miles Davis’ ‘A Kind of Blue’, Charles Mingus’ ‘Mingus Ah Um’ and Ornette Coleman’s ‘The Shape of Jazz To Come,’ through to John Coltrane’s ‘Giant Steps’ and The Dave Brubeck Quartet’s ‘Time Out’ – 1959 saw the recording and release of perhaps the most influential jazz albums of all time, which would go on to change the face of jazz forever.

The same year also saw the founding of Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club – now regarded as the cornerstone of the UK Jazz Scene - and it’s Ronnie Scott’s All Stars who take you on a guided tour of this unique year in the history of Jazz.

A musical and visual celebration - combining world-class live jazz from the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars Quintet, narration and rare archive photos – this is a unique concert celebrating the music of 1959.
