Good Vibes

Ive just woken up from the best nite out in central london so far!....went to Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in Soho fer live jazz an blues acts...Ronnie Scotts has been around fer 40 over years and has played host to some of the greatest jazz musicions of our time.....George Melly & Digby Fairweathers Half-Dozen played 2 sets and so did the Ray Gelato Giants....man, ive been to a few jazz gigs but last nites performance was the best selection of jazz and blues ive heard in my life....they played a fusion of songs from italian to spanish and did a few requests....Ray Gelato is just brilliant with the saxaphone....a true maestro at work... when he plays the vibes just move thru you....EVERYONE at the club was shifting to his tunes...for a moment in time, the swinging 50s and 60s were brought to live....it felt like a scene out of Goodfellas and Casino...come to think of it, Ray seriusly looks like an italian gangster straight out of Godfather...not surprising he's italian....lol...for me, the best part is i managed to get a reserved table right in front of the stage!...5 feet from the musicians...UNREAL!

If u went fer a nite out at Ronnie Scotts and u didnt move or stand up from ur seat, i'd say u were a block of wood....seems the vibes were so great a few gals threw their tops at the musicians the nite before...lol...wat a nite!....too bad i missed Jose Neto's performance a week earlier...seems he's a great guitarist with classical background....combination of Hendrix and Santana some say....would haf been awesome....anyways Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club ROCKS !!!!

So if ur a huge jazz and blues fan, make it a point to spend a nite at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in Soho, London....i don usually advertise fer ppl but heres the website fer more info...
