A whiff of vintage romance…




A bunch of chivalrous 40 plus “salt-pepper” haired men , rock n rolling away Elvis and Beatles and an occasional Jazz of Louis Amstrong or Miles Davis to entertain the real hip twentyinsh and a scant fortyish audience sipping away iced teas n caffines….Dats “Java City” for Bangaloreans on Saturday n Sunday evenings!!! The strong flavor of coffee n tobacco suspended in the air with the crowd going ecstatic chorusing “Tequila” sorta makes the place addictive. Dont they play the historical “Tequila” number better than “ The Champs” themselves !..well, it is no wonder, considering they being the only seven piece Jazz band in the whole of Bangalore , completing the picture with trumpet and sax…well, I sincerely miss a dance floor where one can waltz away to their Jazz like the 70’s shown in movies, a bit of romance..vintage romanceJ
