Close Up 2 Jazz (Frank Goss)

12/18/2014

THE EVOLUTION OF CLOSE UP 2: To all of the Close Up 2 supporters past and present, Close Up 3.0 is currently in the planning stage. Since September 1, 2014 (the day Close Up 2 closed) we heard from everyone...they miss the Neo-Jazz and Neo-Soul, great customer service and chilled upscale environment in downtown Chicago. After 10 years of operating Close Up 2 and producing Music Festivals, a Close Up 2 music CD and the short film "Future of Jazz", we have taken a break to develop Close Up 3.0 or Close Up 3. The new concept will be bigger and better than Close Up 1 and Close Up 2. All of our experiences and your feedback will be included in the New Close Up 3. We truly appreciate your support in the past and we look forward to your support in the future. Stay tuned...the best is yet to come!!! Close Up 3
Warm Regards,
Frank Goss III

CLUB NAME AND CONCEPT CHANGE COMING SOON: A new management team and strategy will now operate CloseUp 2 and the club will have a new name and format rolled out in the upcoming months. Frank Goss III will be leaving to join the management team of a new technology company, App Web Search Technologies.

Close Up 2 will reopen so be sure to look for future announcements of the new name, format, operating hours, musical acts and other entertainment offerings to follow in months ahead under the new management team. Thank you for all of your continued support!
