Talk:Ronnie Scott

band line-ups
Given Scott's importance on the UK jazz scene of the 50s and 60s, especially, I think it might be interesting to include a sub-section of the line-ups of the various bands he led and/or recorded with. A veritable who's who of British jazz. Technopat 19:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Quite agree. Also who was the co-owner of his club? Presumably the mysterious 'King' mentioned only as having continued running the club after Ronnie's death. Fairlightseven


 * The mysterious "King" referred to was Pete King, who does not yet appear to have a dedicated Wikipedia article. Regs. --Technopat 18:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Should have added Pete King, the tenor sax player, not Peter King, the alto sax player. Regs. --89.6.69.126 17:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Private Life
I'm struggling to find out anything about his private life. It would be intersteing to find out more about the man behind the performer. I understand he has a surviving step-daughter, but little else. Presumably he was married? How many times and who to? Children?

 * A Fine Kind of Madness: Ronnie Scott Remembered by his daughter Rebecca and ex-partner/wife Mary came out in 1999. Alan Plater's much earlier novel Misterioso is a Roman à clef about Scott's difficult relationship with his daughter. Philip Cross (talk) 22:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Bad metric conversion
In the section "Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club," there is a problem with the metric-to-imperial conversion of the hoarding on Frith Street. Was it 12 metres square, or 12 square metres? There's a difference. 12 metres square would be 144 square meters, equivalent to 1,549 square feet. More than likely it was 12 square metres, or 129 square feet. Apparently the author used a simple linear conversion of metres to feet, but that doesn't work for area. I will not make this edit myself, as I am unsure of the base information. 66.191.31.2 (talk) 22:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
