[Tradjazz] Galvanized Jazz Band Alert!

[VIGORJAZZ at aol.com]

Hi GJB Fans,

'OH WHAT A NIGHT' at the Beachhead Restaurant, 3 Cosey Beach Ave East Haven, 
CT. The location and views were spectacular!   Right on Long Island Sound! 
Last night was our first appearance at the Beachhead, also our first club date 
ever in East Haven, and what a night it was.   It was standing room only!   ……. 
so nice to see so many regulars there.   Thank you so much for your support!  
 It was a great evening, even though there was little room for dancing.   We 
celebrated birthdays and anniversaries, we sang the “LALA” song, we sang the “
DO-WA” song (the Red Hat Ladies were great!), we did a patriotic medley, and 
93-year old Mom danced to Stardust with an old friend.   We all had a ball, 
and the owners want us back in September.   I'll let you know as soon as we nail 
down the date, and then you should  Call 203-469-5450 for dinner reservations 
right away.  This is a great spot, with great food, but limited seating, so 
make your dinner reservation now!!   This could be the start of something BIG.  
 Remember that other Sunday gig we had in Northford that lasted for 35 years! 
Check out the Beachhead's web site, beachheadct.com.

SUNDAYS at Marisa's in Trumbull! Over for now!
We'll see you again on Sunday, Sep 9th, 6-8:30, once again with Jane 
Campedelli and trombonist Harvey Tibbs!   Be sure to make your reservations early, 
like yesterday!   Remember, there is no cover or minimum at Marisa's, but because 
the food is fabulous, you're going to want to order dinner.   Marisa's is 
very easy to get to: take the Merritt Parkway toward Trumbull, get off at Exit 
48, head north for about 3 miles, and it's on your right.   This is a good size 
restaurant, with plenty of seating and parking.   From Guilford, it took me 
only 35 minutes to get there.   Marisa's address is 6540 Main Street, Trumbull, 
CT 06611.   The telephone number is 203-459-4225.   Call now, before it sells 
out again!  Only one other date scheduled for 2007, Sunday, Oct 21st!

Bill Logozo's Heartbeat Jazz Band will be at Olivers in Essex this Thursday, 
July 5th, 7-10PM, with Skip Hughes and Bob Price! This is a great spot, nice 
atmosphere, and good food at a reasonable price.    Of course the music is hot 
hot hot!   Dancing too!   Look for them at Olivers the first Thursday of each 
month.   Contact Bill Logozzo at Bill @nutmegchrome.com for information on the 
band and how to order CDs.
