Pianist, composer, and Artistic Director at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, James Pearson brings to life the music and stories behind the evolution of jazz piano — from Ragtime to Stride, Boogie Woogie to Big Band and beyond. Joined by his trio of world-class musicians, Pearson takes audiences on a tour through a century of jazz piano greats, featuring music from Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, George Shearing, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, and many more.

The show combines virtuosic playing with anecdotes and wit, tracing how jazz piano developed across 125 years. Praised by the Sunday Times as "outstanding" and by The Observer for its "poise, balance and swing", this is an evening of informed, entertaining live jazz.
