Host/owner Ronny Masciandaro (himself a jazz musician) enjoyed the music so much last night at The Pizza Place, the (WAY more than pizza) restaurant down the street from Elli's new apartment in Yonkers, that he immediately rebooked the trio for June 18th for a repeat performance!!! Songs from "Something Still Cool" and "Songs Spun of Gold" were part of the evening's play list and a good time was definitely had by all. We look forward to seeing you on June 18th for the first time back and save room for some of the best home-made Italian food around! This is a weekly no-cover/no-minimum musicians' and music lovers' hang out for live jazz. BYOB/cash only.

In answer to the frequently asked question, "Where can we see you?" since moving to Yonkers in Westchester County in New York, Elli can say "Belle Havana on October 15th!" Belle Havana (http://www.bellehavana.com) is a lovely intimate restaurant about which Owner/Chef Alex Cheblal has this to say: "My vision is to create an atmosphere that revolves around the lifestyle and culinary experience gained traveling the world and working with the best Chefs in the US and abroad. I want our guests to explore a complete dining experience centered on fusion cuisine (French with Mediterranean and Pan-Latino influences) in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Inspired by international flavors, Chef Cheblal gained his experience working in some of the finest kitchens in the world. Originally from Ferney-Voltaire on the border of France and Switzerland, Alex honed his craft the old fashioned way, apprenticing with renowned master chefs in France, Switzerland, the US and Japan. For information about the music, please see Press and we hope to see you on the 15th.
