WELCOME TO WESTSIDE BLUES & JAZZ
Live Blues & Jazz every Thursday, Friday,
Saturday & Sunday
Paul Vincent Perez and Cindi Jackson ( niece of Arizona Saxophonist Lou Garno )
created
WestSide Blues & Jazz through necessity ( Ok, also maybe because they just wanted to
).
The West Valley was way over due for a Blues
& Jazz Night Club that offers Live Blues & Jazz
every Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday
featuring the best Bands in the State.
When asked what he thought was the key to a
successful Night Club in the West Valley ,
Paul said “ 3
Criteria are needed, Awesome musicians, Great Service and a Comfortable
atmosphere
and WestSide Blues
will have all of that - plus.
WestSide Blues & Jazz offers a cozy, bricked wall
speakeasy decor with very comfortable casual seating.
There is not a bad seat in the House. (Except
maybe the one behind the pole ??.)
We have a top professional sound and lighting system , a 35’ granite bar with comfy swivel stools.
We will offer a large menu of custom Craft
cocktails along with your favorite liquors and beers.

#############################################
https://www.heart.org/en/about-us/office-of-health-equity/black-history-month
Heartful Unity
This Black History Month, let's come
together with heartful unity. Be a lifesaver that unites our community in the
shared mission of promoting heart health and saving lives through CPR and AED
training.
Black Americans have the highest
incidence of cardiac arrest outside of the hospital and are significantly less
likely to survive.
Cardiac arrest in Black neighborhoods
is associated with alarmingly low treatment and survival rates and studies have
shown lower rates of both bystander CPR and bystander AED use in these
neighborhoods. We need to change this trajectory.
