Since this the audiophiles forum I thought that you might say The Pawn Shop is the most famous non-US jazz club. All kidding aside, I quite agree that London's Ronnie Scott Club is among the world's greatest and most famous jazz clubs. Also in the running would be Cafe Montmartre, the Blue Note (NYC) and the Five Spot (NYC). I also realize that you Brits have a hard time dealing with the fact we colonials managed to invent jazz and import it to England. While I respect that fact that jazz is now a world music and that many of jazz's greatest players never set foot on US soil, the fact remains that jazz started as a uniquely American art form and the first half century or so it's existence and development is dominated by Americans and American ex-pats. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87051 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
