     Kayla Is m
aking her debut at Sambuca this THURSDAY NIGHT (3/26).  Ron James's band is playing and they've invited Kayla to be the special guest vocalist for the night.  This is an opportunity to see Kayla on a really cool stage and to hang out with Steve in the audience, which you'll rarely see him do since 99.9% of the time he is on stage with Kayla.  Plus, the more folks come out the better chance that Kayla & Steve will be able to book their own combo there in the future!  
     Cover charge is $10 and dinner reservations are most definitely accepted and recommended.  Come on out and join the fun and root our little songbird on!

Pat Cowan, Upright Bassist . . . . .

Pat CowanWe have been grateful and very blessed to have Pat with us for over 5 years.  He is remarkably talented and a great friend.  Unfortunately, his day job in Atlanta came to an end and he had to seek employment elsewhere. Well . . . that led him to Orlando, Florida.  We're all very sad to see him go, but certainly understand his desire to eat on a regular basis.  Gratefully, Pat appeared on both of the jazz albums that we put out and so we have that to treasure until he finds his way back to Atlanta.  Please join us in wishing Pat all the best.   We'll miss you Pat!

That's all the news for now, jazzers!

A Recent Break In

Steve's Navigator was broken into this past Sunday night during our last show at Mable's Tea Room. Over $4500 in equipment was stolen, including Steve's coat and cell phone. The reason why we're telling you this is because we want you to be careful while you are out and about doing your holiday shopping and at your home.

Since Steve's Navigator was the only car broken into, we can only assume that someone saw him putting our spare equipment back into the Navigator and waited for it to get dark and then came back to steal the equipment. A police report was filed, all Pawn Shops and Used Music Equipment stores have been contacted and we're watching Craig's list and Ebay.

Crime has always been a sad part of our society - but with the economy in the state that it currently is, the amount of jobs that have been lost and with Christmas racing rapidly towards us, folks are getting desperate.

Please stay aware of your surroundings and don't be afraid to report any suspicious activities to the Police. If at all possible, do not leave any valuables in your vehicles. A friend of mine had his car broken into in his driveway and his IPOD was stolen as well as several others in the neighborhood. He lives in a gated community and they climbed over the gate in the middle of the night.

We care about you and want to make sure you are safe and that the same thing doesn't happen to you that has happened to Steve.
***************************************************************

Meanwhile . . . we thank you all for a great and successful 2008. It's because of all of you that we continue to have the glorious job of entertaining at your private events and at local Atlanta area bars and restaurants. We couldn't do what we do without you and we know that.

PEACE. LOVE. JAZZ . . .

"Keeping her eye on the news for you!"

Hey Guys & Gals!

Well, Lucy has been on the prowl for all news about Kayla Taylor Jazz and let me tell you . . . . Kayla and Steve are back at Aqua Blue and Stoney River this weekend as the "Jazzy Little Duo that Rocks". Not to be missed . . . so come on out and just a little note - Steve is now wireless so he can roam just like our songbird, Kayla, can. So if you'd like to have him table side while he's performing . . . . you could probably wave something green at him (dimension of "something green" = 2.61" x 6.14") and he'll jump right over. fyi - the same trick apparently works for Kayla, too. ; )

Friday night, August 8:
You'll find our duo holding court in the lounge of Aqua Blue. Now, the neat thing about Aqua Blue is that you can hear the duo anywhere in the restaurant - so don't be afraid to book a table in a part of the restaurant besides the lounge. Of course, if you want the full affect of the live performance - the lounge is always where you'll get the best view and the most attention from the duo.
FRIDAY NIGHT August 8th!
8p - 11p

Saturday night, August 9:
Come join Kayla & Steve in the lounge for a fantastic culinary and musical experience. Perhaps we should merge the two exeperiences and call it a "mulinary" experience? Hmmm, something to ponder . . . meanwhile, rest assured that Rebecca and Matt will be behind the bar and ready to serve and they'll have the famous fruit infused martinis for $5 as they do every Saturday Night.
EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT through AUGUST 16!
7p - 10p || Rain or Shine

OH and just a bit of gossip . . . . I tracked down Kayla at a new salon this week . . . . The Edge on Edgewood. She was there with the owner, Trent Wallis (3rd generation stylist) who took marvelous care of her! Fans, let me tell you . . . . . if you are looking for cutting edge or just a spruce up - give this salon a call and book an appointment with Trent. You won't be sorry!
