[Tradjazz] Galvanized Jazz Band Alert!

[VIGORJAZZ at aol.com]

Hi GJB Fans,

WE WERE COOKING IN WESTPORT Sun July 15th 7-8:30PM!! What a great venue, what 
a great evening!   It threatened rain, but we only got a few drops.   The sky 
cleared, and the GJB ripped into Bourbon Street Parade at the Levitt 
Pavillion in Westport, CT with trombonist Neil DeFeo and banjo player/vocalist Bob 
Price.   This was our first time at this fabulous venue, and we're anxious to 
return!   It was a great evening, highlighted by Neil DeFeo's rendition of 
'Getting Sentimental Over You', Bob Price's rendition of 'The Flight of the Bumble 
Bee', and ending with a New Orleans parade to 'The Saints', and our theme song, 
'Do You Know What it Means…'!   What a great crowd!   What a fun evening!   
Check out their web site, www.levittpavillion.com, or call 203-226-7600 for 
details regarding other performances.

SUNDAYS at Marisa's in Trumbull! 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!

The Beachhead Restaurant, 3 Cosey Beach Ave East Haven, CT.  We're doing it 
again! We'll be back on Sunday, Sep 30th, 6-8:30PM.  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!!  And yes, the owners have 
promised to make room for dancing this time! Check out the Beachhead's web site, 
beachheadct.com.

Bill Logozo's Heartbeat Jazz Band will be at Olivers in Essex on Thursday, 
August 2nd, 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
