![]() I know it sounds dramatic, but that really changed my life! Though I wish there was more solo stuff, we're lucky he was able to record so much as a sideman and as a studio pro for us to enjoy for years to come. I never had a chance to meet the guy, but his playing inspired the hell out of me. I still think of Ronnie's bari fills as part of the melody to "A Foggy Day" even now. Obviously he kept growing and developing as a musician, but he was polished, sophisticated and distinctly him even at age 25. has been translated based on your browsers language setting.

The perfect The Players Club Dance Ronnie Animated GIF for your conversation. ![]() When I was in high school, I would take my portable CD player everywhere and would have three or four CDs in my backpack every day. I want to say it was from the Umbria Jazz festival sometime in the '90s? I'm not sure if the video was the same performance they reocorded for the "Live in Time" album, but if not, he did the breakdown after the solos just like that performance (starting at 9:03 if I didn't get that pasted right): ![]() I remember Ronnie was in a white suit with a white hat and just ripping like I'd never heard! I haven't been able to find that exact video for years. Diana Armstrong, also known as Diamond, is the main protagonist of the 1998 dark-comedy thriller film The Players Club. It was the section after the breakdown where he would bring the band back in as a Mambo. The very first thing I ever heard from him was a Real Player (remember that?) clip of Moanin' from the Mingus Big Band's website. Featuring me, of course! I felt like I pulled it off, though that may be the irrational confidence of youth speaking. I managed to convince my college big band director to do the tune my senior year. The several recorded versions of him playing "Moanin'" were on constant repeat for me. He and Doc Kupka were my inspiration to play bari, which has been my key to so many interesting and fun musical opportunities in my high school and college years. I feel really lucky to have heard him play with the Mingus Big Band back when I was a teenager. Ronnie's ass needed to be under the jail.This is terrible to hear. Diamond and Ronnie have a big fight in the locker rooms. But I also hated The Players Club for all the girls it destroyed in the process. ![]() Diamond : I loved The Players Club for offering women a way to reach their goals in life.

And she had the nerve to be begging other girls to do Junior's bachelor party knowing that she probably sent other girls to Junior and probably set them up the same way she did Ebony. Diamond : Make the money, dont let it make you. But let Ronnie tell it her and Diamond was more than just "friends". And then Ronnie bold ass tried to do again but then the shooting at the nightclub happened. She punched Trix in the face for a reason. Who knows if Trix, and those Asian men had took turns on Diamond while she was passed out. Ronnie asked them what else did they want to see which leads me to believe that they did a lot more to Diamond that night than what we actually saw. we didn't know why she said that until they showed the scene with Ronnie, Trix, and then Asian business men. It was implied throughout the movie even when the bartender asked Diamond if she wanted a drink and Diamond said "you know I don't drink anymore". ![]()
