Christo's Pizzeria & Lounge, 1108 Broadway St. NE, Salem, OR
If you live in Salem or the vicinity, you don't want to miss this one. The group is the same as my own trio--me, Renato Caranto, and Edwin Coleman. But the music is slightly more jazz-oriented, plus you get to hear Renato speak!The venue is really fun; an intimate night club adjoining an excellent Italian restaurant. Great food, wine, & service, thanks to a pair of great owners who happen to also love jazz!
