Lockdown sessions: Ronnie Scott's present Pasadena Roof Orchestra 04/04/2021 8PM

From the Orchestra’s inception in 1969 it has specialized in dance band music from the 1920s and 1930s with classic arrangements from bandleaders such as Ray Noble, Jack Hylton and Ambrose. The orchestra also pays special attention to the American bands that so influenced popular music in that era too, these include of course Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Ted Weems, as well as legendary crooners such as Bing Crosby and the ‘British’ answer to the ‘old groaner’ Al Bowlly.
