69er Prakash Thadani just checked in from Mumbai to inform me that he and his friends will be performing at the "Not Just Jazz By the Bay" on Saturday 9th Sept and the program kicks off at 10 pm. This extract dated 2003 is about the Restaurant is from the internet. Hope someone can give me an update on it.
In the beginning there was Jazz by the Bay. For over two and a half years, it catered to the Jazz loving audience of Mumbai by featuring live Jazz performances every night. The Jazz lovers lapped it up. Unfortunately, the numbers of Jazz fanatics in Mumbai dwindled and as the clientele got younger and the younger clientele got richer, there was a demand for more variety in the music. Thus two years ago, the prefix Not Just got added to the name and was born Not Just Jazz by the Bay. They have live performances seven days a week. Four days a week there is a live band, twice a week is the Karaoke night and there also is one solo performance per week. The music could be rock, blues, fusion and yes, jazz. Some of the better bands of Mumbai play here. The crowd is motley of the young and the not so young. Actually, more of the latter. From 12 to 3.30 in the afternoon, Not Just Jazz by the Bay has a soup, salad, sandwich and dessert buffet. (Rs. 223/- inclusive of taxes). Timings : 6 pm to 2 am. All credit cards accepted. Valet parking.

I asked Prakash make it live on the internet so that we could join in from all corners of the globe. Several Cathedralites are involved with this event.
The technology is quite simple and it can be done with a good webcam and a solid broadband connection.
If Prakash has a Mac it is real simple using the Quicktime Broadcaster software!!
Maybe someone can post me a report of the event for us.
