huh.

i have seen/heard zero promotion of any kind. hope they don't expect a big crowd tomorrow.

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

fsujax · September 10, 2009, 08:33:58 AM

I havent heard anything about this either. Good to hear it now.

Deuce · September 10, 2009, 08:59:26 AM

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.

fsu813 · September 10, 2009, 04:57:48 PM

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?

Hey Spencer!

Welcome -- glad you're here.

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..."

i drove by there yesterday......

how come it looks exactly the same?

no signage, no nothing....

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
