Shawna at Cafe Nine

“Next time, you have to say ‘Vas-cay-a!’” Dominick Splendorio called out. “We’re a rum bar, not a tequila bar.”

Vascaya, a top-selling rum at Splendorio’s Zafra restaurant, was one of dozens of drinks that flowed Thursday night to accompany concoctions of a different kind: musical mixtures.

Zafra, on Orange Street, was one of several spots around town that filled with jazz, or jazz stirred with other traditions, as part of a week-long schedule ofperformances leading up to Saturday’s New Haven Jazz Festival concerts on the Green.

Click the video to hear a sample from Cafe Nine.

The music, like the drinks being consumed, blended different styles, as a sampling of both revealed during a series of stops around town Thursday night. Come along for a taste of the music in the air.

Kendrick Lamar started a hip-hop battle royale Monday when he called out rappers by name with his verse in Big Sean's Control.

Lamar dropped the gauntlet with a chorus that included these lyrics: "I'm usually homeboys with the same n----- I'm rhymin' with/But this is hip-hop and them n----- should know what time it is/And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale/Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake/Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller/I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you n-----."

By Wednesday, all sorts of artists, including Lupe Fiasco and B.o.B., had taken the challenge. (Note: Links lead to audio with explicit language.)

The rapper was trying to grab some lunch at Houston’s restaurant in Pasadena, Calif., earlier today, when he was denied service because of his tattoos.

According to the celeb’s numerous tweets following the incident, he was told by one of the managers on duty that his ink was threatening to other people dining at the restaurant.

“NEVER eating @ Houston’s restaurants as long as I live ! Denied service in Pasadena by mgr…because: I have tattoos on my arms ?!?,” Gameicon1.png tweeted.
