Jazz at Ronnie Scott's Archive

Jazz at Ronnie Scott's Magazine ran for 159 issues from 1979 until 2006. As well as promoting the Club's concerts, the bi-monthly publication included articles, humorous writing, cartoons and photographs dealing with more general jazz issues and reminiscences.

Edited by Jim Godbolt throughout its run, we are grateful to him for making the entire series available to us. We are also grateful to Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.

A beautiful book of highights from the magazine was published in 2009 to celebrate the Club's 50th anniversary - Ronnie Scott's Jazz Farrago.
