Live Jazz & Dinner Network (Ex- Live Jazz & Dessert Network)

Oak Park, IL

Live Jazz & Dinner Network (Ex- Live Jazz & Dessert Network)
Hi Jazz Lovers! Live Jazz and Dessert is changing our format a bit to make our concerts more accessible to jazz lovers throughout the year. We're now called "Live Jazz & Dinner." Instead of one concert a month in our living room, we’ll be meeting for a jazz jam at a wonderful Oak Park restaurant - Tre Sorelle Ristorante by Mancini at 1111 Lake Street - every Sunday from 4 to 7 PM. You can enjoy dinner while listening to the GREAT Tre Sorelle house band featuring John Scoville on drums, Doug Lalli on keys, Tony Morrison on bass and Dave Gulyas on guitar. Since the restaurant is small, you’ll be able to see and hear everything and feel like you’re part of the band no matter where you sit. Tre Sorelle is known for a very large menu that includes American dishes as well as all the entrees you’d expect from a traditional Italian bistro. There are vegetarian choices including gluten-free pasta and a full bar with a wide choice of wines, beers and cocktails, plus homemade gelato and other awesome desserts. **The cost? Whatever you want to spend on your meal.  And that’s it! There’s NO COVER and parking in Oak Park is FREE on Sunday’s no matter where you park including the village lot across the street.** **This venue is growing in popularity but we'll reserve a table for the first 10 members of our MeetUp Group that RSVP on this site. Please RSVP by Saturday to make sure you get a spot. To learn more about the menu visit [https://tresorelleoakpark.com/](https://tresorelleoakpark.com/).** We realize that many of you loved the idea of private concerts in our living room – so did we. Unfortunately, the bad news is we weren’t able to keep them going on a regular basis. But the good news is you’ll still be able to hear Doug and Dave play all your jazz favorites and more every Sunday at Tre Sorelle. **Of course, if you’d like to have Doug and Dave or other musicians perform in YOUR living room, please be assured that they are available! Just call Doug at 708-228-7150 to book him for your next event.**
