From Toronto Subway Right To The Jazz Lounge 

Friday NIght Jazz @ Acqua Ristorante

Friday, January 13, 2006 -- Jazz lovers can spend a great night with friends at Acqua Ristorante at BCE place. Just hop on the subway to Union Station, use 'The Path' underground map to BCE Place and never having to brave the winter "elements" outside you will reach your Jazz Lounge Destination! Acqua promises to be your favourite regular jazz scene in downtown Toronto by hosting a series of jazz concerts featuring some of the best Canadian jazz vocalists.

On the bill for January 13 is Heather Bambrick singing the all-time jazz favourites with the Joe Amato Quartet. Heather and Joe make great hosts offering stories behind the tunes they perform. The quartet will feature Joe Amato on the saxophones, Richard Whiteman on the piano, Jim Vivian on the bass, and Joel Haynes playing the drums.

Check out Acqua's extensive wine list and enjoy a glass or two in a cozy home-like atmosphere.

The cover charge is $12, but $2 of that goes to the Rotary Club of Toronto Philanthropic Fund in support of inner city school music programs. So that's just $10 for amazing music, atmosphere and company.

The concert takes place on Friday, January 13, 2005 from 8 pm to 11 pm. Acqua Ristorante is located at BCE Place, 10 Front Street West. Telephone: 416-368-7171.
