When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more.
This weekend marks the Grand Re-opening of Birdland Jazz Lounge, with an open invitation for you to join the celebrations!
I recently blogged about the return to SL of two long-time friends, Alma and Blysse, and the re-establishment of Birdland in SL – a place I long regarded as a second home and Second Life’s premier jazz / romantic dance venue.
Events marking the re-opening will be running right across Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th September with a mix of DJ sessions, live singers, and the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls in All That Jazz.
The full schedule for the weekend is as follows (all times SLT):
Saturday September 8th:
- 11:00 – Misfit DJ – live
- 16:30 – All That Jazz – the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls
- 17:00 – Live performance by Tamra Sands (Tamra Hayden)
- 18:00 – All That Jazz – the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls
- 18:30 – Misfit DJ – live
Sunday September 9th:
- 11:00 – Misfit DJ – live
- 14:00 – Live performance by Phil Setner
- 15:00 – All That Jazz – the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls
- 15:30 – Misfit DJ – live
- 16:30 – All That Jazz – the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls
- 17:00 – Live performance by Broook Baxton
- 18:00 – All That Jazz – the Birdland Burlesque Showgirls

Birdland is truly a great venue where you’re assured a warm, friendly evening, good music and plenty of conversation and dancing. Formal wear is requested, otherwise the atmosphere is relaxed. So why not pop along over the weekend and sample it for yourself and help Alma and Blysse celebrate the official re-opening? I’m sure once you do, you’re liable to become a regular!
There’s More…

- Mondays through Fridays: 19:00 SLT
