We decided to conveniently drop in at Mezz 127 at the Topa Towers (the former AmfacTowers) for some Jazz after our Gordon Biersch visit. Up 2 flights of steps (for those of you that remember the former lounge called The Landing), we discovered the band called ADAGIO.
Curious about the meaning of this word ,we goggled it. ‘Adagio' means 'at ease' in Italian, and denotes a slow pace, around and under 60 beats per minute. It is the second slowest of the most common tempo markings, after largo. Interesting relation.
Nothing slow paced about this band. But certainly 'at ease'. These guys are smooth. We like! We can groove to this music anytime of the day. Then enter a smiling Riya doing her rendition of 'Feel Like Making Love' by Roberta Flack, followed by some hot blues number that we never heard before. Wow! Good band pick Dancin' Dave (http://dancindaveproductions.com)! At the end of the night, we immediately become FB friends with Riya, and learned that she also sings on The Star of Honolulu, and for another band called Groove Evolution. We'll have to check them out one day.
You can catch ADAGIO at their next performance at Mezz 127 on June 8, 22 and 29 at 10:00 pm. BTW, parking at the Topa Towers is only $2.00 with validation at the Mezz. What a deal!
Please enjoy these captured golden moments below.
