Good stuff.  It seems like Springfield has become a popular place for new businesses.

I hope this place can be successful where others haven't. A cool jazz club could be a great asset to the hood.

All the failed places had a common denominator in ownership.  That owner lost the place, so it may have a chance now.

A question that lingers in my mind is whose ventures are Kristee's & Fusions.

Sounds fantastic to me too, be great if we could have a "New Age Night," for the ultra laid back, romantics, space explorers, or stoned among us. Best of luck to ANYTHING not hip-hop in this city, but Jazz? You've opened the door to heaven! Best wishes for success.

Now if we could just get a radio station that plays 24/7 Jazz and some New Age mix, that wasn't completely vanilla, we'd be able to introduce a whole new generation to great sounds. You know, "It don't mean a thing if it don't have that swing..."

Thank you Guys for welcoming KrisTee's into the neighborhood; however i invite you to come out tonight; and
enjoy the ambiance. Yes, it is a relief to have quality night spot that caters to jazz, blues, and neo-soul, as we intend. There are quite a few intimate spots that are opening in the area, as well. The greatest asset that we have; is the fine dining. Robert "Chris" Walker is an gourmet chef, and has been cooking for 18 years. We will be able to provide you with great entertainment, as well as the matching Live performance. We are currently hiring, waiters, and waitresses, security, and bartenders. We are currently looking for local artist/painters to display their art work up in the restaurant. Again, i thank you for the warm welcome; I will try my best to answer all of you question- but eventually once we are up and operating in full swing; Kristee's Jazz will answer them personally.
Hope to see you out tonight, At Feed the Soul!!! pERFORMiNg 2NITE @ 10PM lIVe THE EXPERIENCE BAND

QuoteIt would be a group of people who do not have to depend on SPAR's clientele.

What do you mean by this?

who is Chris Walker? do you have any history on him by chance?

ie, has he had any other venues or restaurarnts before, what his goals are for the property, etc?

Stephen Dare,

is there a reason why you & suspencful are not answering my questions?
Title: Re: 9th and Main Reopens as KrisTee's Jazz Club. City is the New Landlord.
Post by: suspencful on September 13, 2009, 01:54:06 AM
it is not my Job to answer, nor speak on Mr. Walkers behalf; If you have any question concerning him. Feel free to come to the Resturant, and ask him. Does it take for you to know how long he's been in the business to come atleast try his food. I'll just say that he's been a Chef for over 18yrs; has experience in running a resturant, and his passionate about what he does. Furthermore, he has a full menu to accomodate your taste buds, lol!

ok, so it's a full restuarant too? Stephen Dare posted the menu and it looked like just appetizers.

What are your hours?

Announcement!!!!
I Spencer Jones am not the promoter at Kristee's Jazz and Fine Dining; But wish them all the success in the world!!!
I came up with the concept, and plan for The event Friday Night Feed the Soul; Which was exclusively targeted towards the sophisticated and Sexy. It consisted of LIVE jazz, blues, and Neo Soul; and meant to bring different races together in the name of Music. To assure a positive atmosphere, i implemented as strict hard bottom, and heels (formal) dress code, that i wasn't willing to compromise with. Some affiliates of the establishment didn't honor that; in fact with out of there way to under mind it. Realizing that i lacked the organizational, and staff support; i found it better to move the event some where it is more appreciated. In the end, the Venue doesn't make the event, as much as the PEOPLE!!!! AND I WILL CONTINUE TO FEED THE SOUL2 THE BIG APPLE REMIXED, 5611 NORWOOD AVE, until further notice. Thank you Stephen Dare, and all UnderDaScope Ent. supporters that came out to support, and enjoyed "Feed the Soul" Stay tuned for upcoming events....
