""So many people have voiced displeasure over Havana Nights closing. I've asked many of them if they ever came to the venue. Several said "they were going to go but things kept coming up" or "I came out once last year and loved the place" or "we were going to come next week." Etc. There ya go. The question I get asked the most is "where can we go to hear great jazz?" I tell them and rarely do they show up and then call to say "they heard it was great and sorry they couldn't make it out." The bottom line with any entertainment venue is that butts in the seats are necessary for success. Doesn't matter if it's jazz, rock, blues, etc. A jazz venue in Hampton Roads can sustain itself but in my view what's necessary to parallel it is unique quality food with balanced affordable costs. There are other factors such as a safe environment but the quality combination of music, food and costs will determine it's success or failure. These venues are easily taken for granted too. Many think that once a place is there it will always be there so no rush to go."
