Gilly's. 132 S. Jefferson St. Tel: 937-228-8414 [contact: Jerry Gillotti. Gilly's has a long history as one of the few places in Ohio where a fan can see major acts, such as Elvin Jones, Steve Morse, or Wayne Shorter, in an intimate club setting. Proprietor Jerry Gillotti is a true jazz fan - the entrance is plastered with pictures of him with many of the legends of the last 30 years - and also likes to give the best local talent (not always jazz!) exposure, either on their own or as opening acts for the big names. Gilly's is near the heart of downtown Dayton, with convenient parking in a city-owned structure, and serves a wide variety of beverages]
