"I was taken by the unique, intimate energy made possible by your lovingly created space and the cumulative effect of so many great performances that had gone on before us.  Everywhere I turned, I could feel it as it brought me a new (and renewed!) sense of the magical power of music conjured up when musicians, the audience and the moment combine.  Thanks for beaming me up, ParlorJazz!" - Nicole Pasternak, vocalist
