HONOLULU

Chuck's Cellar. Ohana East Hotel. 150 Ka'iulani Avenue. Tel: 1-808-923-4488. fax: 1-808-924-2373. [contact: Michael Barker. Steak & seafood restaurant with live jazz every night, 6:00pm - 10:00pm. Fine food and beverages, moderate prices]

Jazz Minds Art & Cafe. 1661 Kapi'olani Boulevard. Tel: 1-808-945-0800. [contact: Young Hae Yi. Open Monday through Saturday and features live jazz (all types) every night. The muted (genuine) red brick wall behind the stage gives this twenty-first century club an intimate ambience reminescent of "the good old days". It has a state-of-the-art audio/video system (with its own glass enclosed control studio) off to the right of the ample stage. When the band of the evening isn't playing (i.e., before the gig, during breaks, and after the gig) choice jazz videos are projected onto a large drop-down movie screen at the back of the stage]
