BK Jackson was phenomenal, he is definitely a showman, very charismatic, humble, engaging. He puts on a great show, I really enjoyed his show. Now as for the venue a lot to be desired, the venue itself is fine, however, the wait times for drinks and food are a huge issue. Please hire some additional waiters and waitresses, you are stretching your people to thin, they were very professional an as accommodating as they could be given the situation they were put in. We wanted to order a bottle of wine, every wine we selected they did not have so we asked can you please tell us what you do have (why are wines on your menu if you don't have them to offer to your customers), after going thru that the wine didn't come until 30 minutes later, we ordered food which also did not come until 45 to 50 minutes later, we asked for water once again received 30 minutes later. We wanted to order an appetizer and was told it was not ready they just started preparing it. At the end of the night we asked for the bill and asked if he could split the wine since we purchased a bottle and wanted to split the cost, the waiter was not able to do that (which is mind boggling to me) however it took 20 to 30 minutes for us to get the bill and pay purely because you don't have several POS systems in place so that your staff can take care of their customers. This is no reflection on the wait staff they were doing the best they could. I think you have a good thing here if you make some much needed adjustments, the venue is nice, the music was great, the food was good, and the wait staff were great, but wait times for anything has to be corrected. I would hate to see this business go under due to poor management an not providing your customers with excellent service, I would love to come back, but definitely not under the conditions I experienced on Friday. I hope this helps, this is not meant to hurt you but hopefully help you so you can keep your doors open. All in all I still had a great time.

BK Jackson Biography
Bernard “BK” Jackson is an international-performing saxophonist, electrifying audiences across the globe with his unique playing style, energetic stage presence and unparalleled passion for music that touches the soul. A native of Tampa, Florida, he goes by the stage name “BK Jackson” and has crossed musical paths with industry giants such as B.B King, Brian McKnight, Bruno Mars, Hunter Hayes, Chaka Khan, Fantasia, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Zac Brown Band and more. Most notably, BK spent four years touring domestically and abroad with musical icon Prince, performing timeless hits for sold out arenas night after night as a member of his 11-piece horn section, known as New Power Generation (NPG) Hornz. Currently, BK can be found rocking the stage with New Orleans front man Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews as a member of the multi-talented musician’s touring band, Orleans Avenue.
BK first picked up the saxophone at the age of 11 and quickly began making a name for himself as a young performer to watch. Snagging numerous awards and recognitions for his undeniable talent and skill, BK was voted as the Tampa Bay Entertainer of the Year (First Annual Black Diamond Award) and was a NAACP ACT-SO (Afro Academic Technological Scientific Olympics) Gold Medal Winner. At 16, BK also won the Fifth Annual Capital Jazz Festival Challenge in Columbia, Maryland, becoming the youngest person to ever do so. Most recently, BK has been voted Smooth Jazz Network’s 2019 Breakout Artist of the Year. This award recognizes artists for their success on radio and live show experience.
BK Jackson’s sophomore release, Life of the Party, is the personification his electric personality. Mixing today’s mainstream pop, hiphop, and r&b music into a jazz format, this album is titled perfectly because a party is exactly what this music starts. Alongside BK are some of the industry’s finest artist, including: Trombone Shorty, Adam Hawley, Ro$ Mac, Sherwood & The Loudpack, Nicholas Cole and more!! Life of the Party has the traffic jams to get you through rush hour, it’s your happy hour theme music or the perfect vibe for the entire family to musically agree on. Blending the high energy and sonic movements of pop with the syncopated and intriguing intervals of jazz, BK has been referred to as “young and fresh” and “exactly what the genre needs” by industry icon Dave Koz. Koz also broke both singles from Life of the Party on his SiriusXM Watercolors radio show.
