[Tradjazz] Galvanized Jazz Band Alert!

[VIGORJAZZ at aol.com]

Hi GJB Fans,

June 22-24, Hot Steamed Jazz Festival, Essex, CT

Well, the weather wasn't perfect, but the music sure was!   We got wet and we 
froze on Friday evening, but that didn't phase the fans.   With coats and 
earmuffs, they huddled to stay warm, but they stayed, and they had a ball.    It 
was a bit chilly on Sat evening, but Sat and Sunday were picture perfect days. 
  In spite of a little bad weather, this was a great Jazz Festival, very well 
organized, and top notch bands.  Many thanks to the late Joe Bombaci, Shirley 
Bombaci, Dick Moore, Karen Senn, and countless other volunteers, for a job 
well done.   On to 2008!

This is going to be great too!!   Sun July 1, 6-8:30, Beachhead Restaurant, 3 
Cosey Beach Ave East Haven, CT. The location and views are spectacular!   
Right on Long Island Sound!   Check out their web site, beachheadct.com. It's our 
first appearance at the Beachhead.   In fact, it's our first club date ever 
in East Haven.   It's dinner and dancing to the Galvanized Jazz Quintet.  Call 
203-469-5450 for dinner reservations now.  This is a great spot, with great 
food (I ate there recently, again!), 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!

SINATRA-DON TRENNER!

I did it again!   This is the third time I saw Frank Sinatra JR with Don 
Trenner's 36-piece orchestra at the Mohegan Sun Cabaret Theater.   It was 
fabulous, again!   Sinatra's voice is better than ever, and the Don Trenner orchestra 
is sensational.   I know, this has nothing to do with the Galvanized Jazz 
Band, but I also know how much you GJB fans appreciate good music, and I just 
wanted to share this with you.

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 on Thursday, 
July 5th, 7-10PM, with Skip Hughes! 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.

really helps!

PS Last week, two of you complained that you received multiple copies of the 
GJB Alert.   Did anyone else receive more than one copy? My appologies to 
those that did, though I have no idea why or how??   Please let me know if it 
happens again.
