Almost
every night for the past two years Puppet's Jazz Bar has been
showcasing live music out of a small but stylish venue on Fifth
Avenue in Brooklyn.
When
they had to start turning people away owners Martin Fagin and
drummer Jaime Aff realized they needed more space - forty seats
just weren't enough. They found a spot at 481 Fifth Avenue between
Eleventh and Twelfth Streets which also has outdoor seating.
However,
they need help with construction costs and to that end a fundraiser
is planned Monday, July 16 at the Old Stone House on Fifth between
3rd and 4th Street. For $100 guests arrive at 8 p.m. to meet the
Arturo O'Farrill Quartet - pianist O'Farrill, Aff, bassist Alex
Blake and trumpeter Jim Seeley. They'll also get a t-shirt, wine,
beer and food.
Those arriving at 9 p.m. will pay $50 to listen to the music -
described by Fagin as eclectic with Afro-Cuban influences - and
be offered wine, beer and food.
A
second fundraiser is planned July 31st for the last night in the
original location. For information and/or reservations call 718-499-2627,
718-687-0940 or e-mail info@puppetsjazz.com
