Ronnie’s: The Life of Ronnie Scott & His World Famous Jazz Club is a chronicle of the life of Ronnie Scott and his world-famous jazz club.

Oh, I guess you had that figured out…

It’s actually a chronicle the life of saxophonist Ronnie Scott, a poor Jewish kid who grew up in 1940s East End, London who became owner of the eponymous night club.

Musical greats spanning decades played at Ronnie’s including Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Chet Baker, and Jimi Hendrix, who played there the night of his death.

Needless to say, this music-filled doc is brimming with glorious clips that bring to life the legendary jazz club and its charming yet tormented owner.

Oh, and a trailer has been included as a special feature.
