The third installment of the AV-JAZZaGANZA franchise will be dedicated to scary themes, haunted imagery and, of course, Caspar the Friendly Ghost (?). AV-JazzaGanza is a jazz and film lollapalooza that uses a movie screen and old-school movie projectors to create dramatic concert effects, multiple film clips and with 35mm Filmstrips added in. FIlmstrips are rolls of 35mm photos formerly used for educational porpoises, and Frank's huge collection allows him to match up fun photo images with the music, using separate screens. And uses cassette-tape cueing to change the slides with the music. To make this an extravaganza, there are random filmstrip rolls playing, and different FIlm Treatment Themes.
The restaurant's kitchen will be open till 10 pm, combine dinner and the show. And it's all ages, with drinks avail. for >21 guests
