Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club has announced a new partnership with
Entertainment Cruise Productions, LLC to bring the 57-year-old jazz
club’s sound onboard the company’s latest production—the Contemporary
Jazz Cruise.
Featuring nightly performances by members of the Ronnie Scott’s All
Stars band, the London club will be recreated on the ship as Ronnie Scott’s At the Revelation Lounge.
The group, led by pianist James Pearson and fronted by vocalist Natalie
Williams, will perform a mix of both jazz standards and modern
classics. “For over 50 years, the greatest jazz musicians on earth have
traveled to London to perform on our stage,” said managing director
Simon Cook in a press release announcing the partnership. “And now, for
the first time ever, we’re taking the spirit of Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club
directly to the fans and the music. We are excited to be bringing a
piece of England’s history--and a great deal of its talent--aboard The
Contemporary Jazz Cruise in 2017.”
“Ronnie Scott’s is, without question, one of the most important jazz
venues in the world,” said Michael Lazaroff, executive director of
Entertainment Cruise Productions, in the press release. “We are humbled
that this storied club will be joining us on the Contemporary Jazz
Cruise and creating an experience for our guests that can’t be found
anywhere else.”
The week-long, Caribbean cruise sets sail from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida on Feb. 4, 2017, and will travel to Nassau (Bahamas), San Juan
(Puerto Rico), Samana (Dominican Republic) and the private Haitian
Resort, Labadee.
In addition to the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars band, other acts onboard
the ship include cruise host and music director Marcus Miller, Terence
Blanchard, Gregory Porter, Dianne Reeves, Joshua Redman, the Robert
Glasper Trio, Grace Kelly and more.
