Aba Chiara
"It's not easy to find the right words to describe what Chiara and her entire team did for us... because it wasn't "just" entertainment, but a true journey we built together, step by step. It took months of work, discussions, ideas, rehearsals, shared decisions... until we arrived at something entirely our own: four different bands, in four different locations, with repertoires carefully crafted and personalized down to the smallest detail. Nothing was left to chance, and this care was evident throughout the day. Our greatest satisfaction is that everyone truly had fun, from start to finish. We saw guests of all ages get involved, smile, sing, dance... and it was amazing to see everyone rejoice. The atmosphere that was created was exactly what we had imagined, if not even more beautiful. But what really made the difference was the humanity and kindness. The people we met along this journey weren't just impeccable professionals, but sincere, present, and passionate travel companions, capable of truly listening to us and transforming our ideas into something concrete and emotional. And perhaps the most beautiful thing is that from all this a true friendship with Chiara was born, one that goes far beyond work. Heartfelt thanks to Aba Chiara and the entire team: you made our wedding something unique, authentic, and deeply ours 🤍. When will we have our next celebration together??? 🤩"

"The Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art have used free outdoor jazz programs to draw the public to their facilities, but representatives of the museums say that this summer sparked a banner year in terms of attendance.
“It was incredible,” said Dorrance Stalvey, director of music programs at LACMA. “We had upward of 2,000 people at some shows.” The museum--in its fourth year of offering jazz on a weekly basis-presented such artists as Horace Tapscott, Dr. Art Davis and Cecilia Coleman at its Friday evening shows, and big bands led by Bill Berry, Gerald Wilson and Bill Holman on Sunday afternoon programs.
“This program was by far the most successful we’ve had,” said Dawn Setzer, spokesperson for MOCA. “We averaged about 1,500 people a show,” a figure up considerably from previous years’ events.
Setzer said the primary reason for the increased turnout was the high-profile strictly-jazz lineup, presented on 11 consecutive Thursdays, that included Charles McPherson, Billy Higgins and Teddy Edwards.
LACMA continues its Friday evening shows throughout the year, currently spotlighting a retrospective of bands that have played there, plus new acts.
‘Trane Time: The annual John Coltrane Festival takes place tonight at 8 at the World Stage, 4344 Degnan Blvd. in Leimert Park. On tap will be Ravi
Coltrane, Dr. Art Davis’ estimable quintet with Doug Webb and Phil Vieux, and others. Information: (213) 293-2451.
Davis will also appear at a benefit for Better Advantages for Students and Society (BASS), which awards a scholarship in his name. The event takes place on Sunday, 4 to 7 P.M., at Diva, 600 Anton Blvd., Costa Mesa."
