New York – Here’s info on more live music . . .good for the soul.
Thursday, April 18: Our six-piece jazz group Equilibrium is appearing at our new home, Cleopatra’s Needle, 92ndand Broadway, for three sets from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., so feel free to drop in for a drink or dinner. Apart from the joy of being with us, Cleopatra’s is a lively, full-service restaurant that people seem to like.

The atmosphere is fine, and the music delicious–our mix of standards, our own adaptations and originals.
