Is Ronnie Scotts a good place to take a burd you don't know too well?

Jazz is a huge genre and a lot of people can be quite fussy - so it could be easy to have a shit night if say, you don't really like Jazz, she loves the Trad stuff and you end up seeing an experimental impromptu group. However, if you score well, then you could score really well.

Yeah, without a doubt. It's got the coolest atmosphere. It's quite dark, and because it's music, you don't have to (can't) talk too much. You can eat there, if you want, but you don't have to. Food's not stunning, but it's not *bad* and it's not expensive (for Central London). It may be best to go out for dinner somewhere round there, get the talking over with, then take her on to Ronnie's to show her what a suave sophisticated motherfucker you are. The acoustics are the best of any jazz club in the world. Superb photos on the walls - all the greats, every one of them, in session at Ronnie's. Worth strolling round and having a look. The evening will be in two halves: the support act and then the main act and that "half" will be done by midnight - when a lot of people slip out to get the night-bus home. The second half is the support act and the main act again, and is often more intimate, with more banter with the audience. They seem to put more into the second set, because they know that the people who've stayed have made an effort. One thing: turn your mobile OFF (not onto silent) when you walk through the door. Or you'll be killed. And you'll deserve it. When are you thinking of going? Who's on? Have a good time!
What? When was the last time you were there? Prices are the same as any Central London location: http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/ronnie_scotts/ronniescotts/admin/winelist.htm Christ, you can pay more for a pint at the bar in Fenchurch Street station. I've never had any complaints.
Ben Blaney says... Not sure yet. I've met this stunning blonde burd who's got a liking for Jazz, she plays the sax as well. I was thinking of going in the next few weeks, so I'll check out who's perfoming and ask for your opinion, if that's OK. She knows I haven't a clue about Jazz, even though I like a fair bit of it, so I think she'll appreciate me doing my homework and making it a good night. I'm going to probe her on what style of jazz she likes first, because it varies widely from what I can tell. I fully intend to, thanks.
Sure. I'm a bit out of touch, though. I see that Rachel Z's week finishes tonight. That's a shame because she's good. I saw her at Ronnie's a couple of years ago. She's in an all-girl band [0] Jamie Cullum's got two weeks: last of August and first of September, but the website says it's all booked up. Jose Neto's some Brazilian geezer. I was going to see him a while back... but didn't, for some arcane reason. Georgie Fame might well be good fun. I'm going to be in London the week of the 12th September, so I may well be going myself - probably on Wednesday... so... avoid Wednesday, lozzo (don't want your bird thinking you associate with cunts). It does indeed. Good plan. Let us know how it goes. [0] Name that lyric, anyone?

I've never, ever heard that. And I've never, ever experienced it. So I guess it's your anecdotal evidence plays my anecdotal evidence, huh? Prace bets now.
