From 1997 until July 2002 Pat Crumly was fronting the Ronnie Scott Legacy Quartet led by long-time Scott associate and pianist, John Critchinson. This band toured the UK several times paying tribute to Ronnie, via music and humour, and also played a successful tour of New Zealand in 2001. The Quartet recorded a CD in memory of Ronnie Scott entitled 'Excuse Me, Do I Know You?' - this was released in January 1999 on the Jazzhouse Label (reissued 2005 on JAZZIZIT as 'Ronnie Remembered) and features guest appearances by Flora Purim, Georgie Fame, and ex-Ronnie Scott drummer, Martin Drew. Since the group's demise Pat has been leading his own Quartet featuring Nick Weldon on piano along with RSL pals Tim Wells on bass and Mark Fletcher on drums. This new lineup, which has a regular slot at London's 606 Club continues to tour and perform in London and the UK, and will be venturing into Europe this Autumn (2006) with gigs in Athens and other cities....their debut album, ‘Weaver of Dreams’ was released October
2003 to critical acclaim.
