you know she is a great club and had a nice new jersey it's called me the jazz never stop and i love the title right there we're going to talk to a little bit about you know what she's doing at the club all the wonderful things she's doing about her background but gail it's so great t here thank you i guess let my speaking is a pleasure i've seen you on facebook and you do a lot of really fun things on facebook live videos and stuff and i said you know what this is a woman that's guide extreme passion for not only music but life you know you have this great positive energy and i said i've got to have her on the show at the state and i thank you very much for having me on my pleasure yes so you know and we were just talking so you know i what we try to do with the show is you know give our viewers an idea of our guests in where their backgrounds from what their passions are where they got that fire in the belly for jazz and i it's we're talking all things jazz here so tell us about it let's say you were talking about you had been a project manager right well ideas your visions they come they go you go you don't focus on clothes you try to raise a family marriage and also work at the same time until finally you know when you get to a certain age in life you just finally say you know what i'm finally going to do what i want to do and then i kept telling my husband you know what i want to do that just care fade up and putting off for so many years and he said ok well let's find a place and we will travel here there didn't feel you know like when a lady put on shoes and she said all those shoes of her me never found advice but when i said i was comfortable having a jazz venue so one day we was eating dinner at a restaurant and head height a few feet from where jess cafe is today and we looked and there was a sign that said rent me  three months free wow and we looked inside it and it was completely a shell wow it was matter of fact if you look up to the ceiling you can see the roof you can see disc you really can you can see the sky where all the rain came in mold all over the place cement floors and i looked over at my husband and he said no and i said can i please and he said i would think about it and then we'll see what we would might consider it and i did two weeks later i came back to and i said i want to try this i really want to open up a just care  saudi talked to the management they gave us what they said to three months free and then at that point as it can we really do this and he said whatever you want and at that point i brought all my contractors in all the permits and and we created to what it is today are so one of the things i kept saying was in the area of new jersey where i live there presently live in law inside there isn't any jazz venues just consistent you got your pop up festivals you got  maybe every other week in a restaurant week but i want to something to give to the community that was consistent every week and that's when i said we can do this and we created to the stollen light open thursday through sunday ok thursday friday and saturday from six to ten and then sunday we have a lovely brunch which is from one to five pm with us and the chef cooks right in front of you all food is catered in and we have live jazz and it is like our grand opening we had the mare of in he cut the red we did a ribbon cutting and when i looked up for the first jess it started as seven it stopped about eight forty five and i looked outside the door and it was a line going down the walkway and i was a static and i said oh my god i did it one of the things the reason why i picked the title is because i find that in some cities and some you never know some sort of little small areas there isn't any jazz right so that's why i picked the title made the jazz never stop reading and love that we've been open since april sixth and we have had big people coming in i mean people that i never knew that i would be standing beside people like larry mckenna paula johns geraldine olive five two nine nine it will put all the information on the screen as bank you thank you very much your web site as well as my website yes and and it gayle's great because she's always doing a live videos and i think the social media aspect of this is news going to be great as this is going to not only be your on the television station it's also going to be on my facebook page so we're going to get that out there in their own and i find that the more social media the better because you can see a lot of new people and it's an immediate yes yes and that's one of things for advantage nowadays is social media well ten years ago we didn't have social media and we had newspapers but now everyone is also see me we're in such a great position and you're in a great position is in what manner with all of the social events you can take advantage of a lot of advertising opportunities that are going to cost an arm and absolutely no yes that's true and you always got to streamline your budget when you first starting out exactly definitely you know beyond the music though but beyond the music at the club you're also doing some educational outreach so what i'm trying to do i'm trying to pivot a lot of other extracurricular activities like for the students for the summer time and even going into the fall we're going to do certain classes for drum lessons keyboard lessons guitar lessons saxophone lessons and give an update of all the activities that will be going on and i cafe every month that's you yes indeed that sounds really thank you yes and so when i was like to ask this because this is like you know whatever i have guests on it in jazz is just like you know my pick up but i did pick up the music because something about jazz and yes i grew up of rock'n'roll and motown and everything like that but it's just something when you want to set that type of music aside in this into something that's soothing relaxing and you can just into new orleans going into new york the harlem club the renaissance era and i was like i love history and i want to study in acid wow that is really interesting you know and that's how i finally picked it up and even now i can put  you really do and all of that really plays a key and just sitting back and enjoying some good music enjoying the performers and also understanding and educating the performers of how jazz started it and what they went through and how it friends of mine that were just on the show brothers they're doing tunes by sting and in jazz for me right now in the past so newly absolutely so it's nice you can really because you're hitting an audience that might recognize some of those right you know and one of the really have the crowd of that era come in and enjoy some sinatra sunday absolutely every sunday my mother will always turn on when i came from mass frank sinatra was on the radio you know and even to this day i love him yeah absolutely i want to introduce everyone to a little bit of everything so this is basically like for you it's like almost like this is something that's almost like a higher calling for you really you know this and i know you really are absolutely and you put it out there you know yeah i'm a big believer in that there i know that's what i do is similar to that of the building even though i looked through the window and it was completely a shell and i said i can do this and i walked in i looked around i looked up and i said i'm going to love it and i'm a dead dream  vision and i said i am today beautiful and you go good people that support you i really do i have the marrow of head highs i have the neighborhood yeah i mean i was out on july fourth with the parade giving out flyers and everyone saying oh we know you're there yes i'm going to be there i mean that's you know that really right there ladies and gentlemen that is like a real grass roots effort that you don't see a lot of people doing by aware absolutely you know you've got to canvass the area he's in as an owner you know even like as a jazz musician i can't just sit fees not only it's going to be on facebook but it's also going to be on all the you tube ok thank you very much but all of the i think it's great so you're and then you're you have a sunday brunch tell our audience a little bit more about the food and about right now every week we have a shift his name  chef christophe and every week he gives me a different menu and we do we try to cater to to either to move the we can or to
