ATLANTA (April 15, 2007) — Villa Christina has partnered up with the Atlanta Jazz Festival and is a featured venue for the 31 Days of Jazz celebration. Beginning Wednesday, May 2nd Villa Christina and The Atlanta Jazz Festival invites you to jazz up your Wednesday evenings with live music to enhance your night out. Live Jazz will be the main attraction on Villa Christina’s lovely patio, which is surrounded by their luscious, manicured gardens, cascading waterfalls and meandering streams. Illustrious songstress Tracy Hamlin, just back from the St Lucia Jazz Festival, will use her sultry vocals to set the mood and kick off the 31 Days of Jazz celebration. Kick back with a frosty beverage, soothe your soul, and mellow out to her relaxing vibe. Featured drink specials such as the “Jazzmopolitan” and minty mojitos, or refreshing Flo Premium Water, will complete the environment of refreshment and relaxation.
