Crazy Night at RS

Yesterday was a crazy night at the restaurant. As they say, “the joint was jumping.” All the seats were taken. Among the guests was Valery Ponomarev, the famous trumpeter, who played with Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers and with the greatest American bands. Ponomarev, along with many other guests, came to congratulate TV journalist, Olga Cherny on the upcoming birth of her first child; it’s going to be a boy. At another table sat the Editor-in-Chief of Sova Magazine, Elena Nesterova, who looked great in her sexy cocktail dress. Across from her sat Alain Malraux, the Playwright and the son of the famous Frenchman, Andre Malraux, who was Minister of Culture in the time of General De Galle’s presidency. Alain is 60 years old and very distinguished Playwright whose play was recently shown in an off-Broadway production. Most of the people at the tables knew each other and the atmosphere was one of friendliness and goodwill. Pianist, Alexander Izbitser entertained the guests through the night.
