A Reminder
Sharon Clark Quartet on Saturday, December 3rd  8 PM at Pizzeria Venti, Alexandria, VA
Get your TICKETS TODAY – don’t hesitate!
PLEASE NOTE: Unlike Jazzway 6004, which is a not-for-profit venue, Pizzeria Venti is a commercial venue.  Therefore it is required that a minimum number of tickets be sold in order for the show to go forward.  If a minimum number of tickets are not sold by a certain date, the management cannot guarantee the availability of the venue and the show must be cancelled.  Nobody wants this, so I urge you to purchase your tickets by Wednesday of the week of the show in order to guarantee that the show goes on and that the series will continue.  For the December 3rd show with the Sharon Clark Quartet, that means a minimum number of tickets must be purchased by November 30th.  Sharon Clark is a word class performer and so are her instrumentalists – Vince Evans, Michael Bowie and Lenny Robinson.  This is [...]

What’s New at Jazzway 6004
Our third benefit for the Creative Alliance on October 29th hit a home run! Our master chef Dan Casucci was in great form serving up dishes like duck confit, and truffled mushroom crostini, wine braised short ribs, rockfish oregonato and lentil croquettes, healthy sides galore  and a vast array of homemade desserts!  Many, many thanks to all our volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without you!
The Joni Mitchell Tribute sold out and turned out to be one of the most popular concerts we’ve presented at Jazzway.  Patrons remarked that this was the best CA fundraiser yet, and many told me with tears in their eyes that they were virtually transported back to their [...]

It’s hard to believe that we are entering the 4th season of Jazzway 6004 in September 2010.  We’ve really grown and evolved since we first started in June 2007 with my tribute to the great Billie Holiday.  We never expected Jazzway 6004 to take off the way it did and we’ve struggled to keep up and learn how to make it better, more efficient and to get the word out.  Although it’s been a huge amount of work and organization, and continues to be, the series remains a true labor of love for us. 
 
As a not-for –profit, even in a small venue, we are committed to offering musicians an honorable wage for their skilled and heartfelt performances - a tribute to their hard work, experience and dedication to their craft.  I believe we’ve had some measure of success in bringing new audiences to jazz – some folks who may have previously stayed away from jazz because they thought they needed a set of previously [...]
