Emma Smith live in London

Experience Emma Smith live on August 30th

Emma Smith is a British vocalist and arranger known for her interpretations of jazz standards and original compositions, often incorporating close harmony vocals and a retro aesthetic reminiscent of 1940s and 50s vocal groups like The Andrews Sisters, but with a contemporary sensibility. Her work frequently features arrangements for brass sections and a focus on storytelling through song. She has released several albums to critical acclaim, including “Prime Time” and “Something Beautiful.”

Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, located in Soho, London, has been a central institution in the British jazz scene since its founding in 1959 by Ronnie Scott and Pete King. Originally established as a small basement club, it quickly gained international recognition for hosting leading jazz musicians from the United States and beyond – including performances by Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie.

The venue is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and consistently high-quality programming. Throughout its history, Ronnie Scott's has served not only as a performance space but also as a recording venue; many live albums have been captured within its walls. It continues to operate as both a club presenting nightly performances and a restaurant, maintaining its legacy as one of the world’s most respected jazz clubs.
