Label: Market Square MSMCD 141 Dist: RSK Linda Lewis: “The first time I played Ronnie Scotts it was back in the seventies. I was one of the first non jazz singers to play there so I was scared! I could hear Ella and Sarah, Annie Ross and Blossom Dearie in the walls. Their lovely music which influenced me, as did Laura Nyro, , Stevie and Marvin. The last time I saw Jimi Hendrix was at Ronnie Scotts, before he died the same night. I was also scared of the club owners Ronnie & Pete but they turned out to be great blokes. The audience and ambience at Ronnie Scotts has always been fantastic and I have always loved playing there, especially the last time when this album was recorded. We included new songs like “I keep A Wish” and “I Don’t Do Don’t”; I have added the live version of “I Keep a Wish” to my new single”. Linda Lewis Musicians: Live In Old Smokey. Reg Webb on keyboards + Matt Backer on guitar + Lincoln Anderson on bass. Arran Ahmun on drums + Kwaku Dzidzornu on percussion + Paul Fredericks on vocals.
