Some want him to produce them in other cities, some are entrepreneur types who want to produce them themselves. There's a lot more to it. Charlie Chiarenza, manager of Miceli's on North Las Palmas Avenue in Hollywood, is looking forward to this Caravan. Ten musicians will be playing at the two rooms of the Italian restaurant and club, among them cornetist Bill Berry. Chiarenza says the customers that come during the Caravans are not the usual customers.
Buses come from other clubs with more people.
Those already in our club miss their buses to stay here longer and we keep piling up. They're like sardines. Club owners smile at the potential profit, but that is not the ultimate goal of the Caravan. The more people we can expose to music, the more people will listen to the station. In fact, the audience of the jazz caravans has changed drastically throughout the years.
