Stop. Look. Listen.

The new Rosa Rosa Late Jazz club held a preview Thursday — here are a few scenes, featuring Mayor Rick Gray getting ready to cut the ribbon and the Max Puglia Quartet in performance. The club will open to the public tonight (Friday, March 27), with the Tim Warfield Band performing at 10:30 and Max Puglia at 12:30. (More information here.)According to Rosa Rosa partner Adriano Isernia, the club will provide a much-needed showcase for jazz, a place to simply go have a drink and listen to music without having to have dinner, and in a different atmosphere from that of a restaurant. While the club is a part of the Rosa Rosa Ristorante Italiano, it will have a new face for after hours — a new logo, new lighting, new uniforms for the staff, Isernia says.
