Information from the daily La Nacion, Thursday, 22 October
If anything needs are live music venues, and Notorious, Callao 966, is one of the pillars which supported the local jazz grow to have a considerable presence within the music in Argentina (the other was the Jazz Club del Paseo La Plaza). Today, at 2130, Notorious was reopen-closed since last July, with a jam session by the group's guitarist Penovi Ramiro, one of the young stars of the local scene.

Notorious was bought by Victor Ponieman, saxophonist and owner of publisher Random Records label. "The idea of taking the club was to develop artists. Sometimes one has the ability to edit music, but nothing better than to have the artist for the launch and this is a very appropriate setting, "said Ponieman, with a long history in music production. The place has some changes, for example, the location of the stage. You will now be against a side wall of the club, thus leaving the hearing that beautiful garden that is in the background. Moreover, the record store will be more integrated between the disks, the bar and club.

New and classical musicians
The schedule is in charge of Juarez Mora, a connoisseur of the jazz world from here. "The idea is to recreate the musical spirit of the place, with more conventional proposals, and also make room for new musicians," said a summary way the programmer.

Ponieman, meanwhile, is in the pipeline a number of international artists who would be interested in appearing at the club. And as the idea of throwing the discus with a presentation of artists is interesting for musicians because there are contacts. "It will be little by little as we move through strictly respect the club, we go about doing the hiring to come and present," the new owner of Notorious. While the jam is today, the club will start with the music program in November and expects to open (at least, that's in the plans) Monday through Saturday.
