Horizons has always been a stupid name and most people would love it to be called, The Trident again. tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-12-27:14594722 Donna 2011-12-28T01:38:12Z 2011-12-28T01:38:12Z <span> </span>Contact Lou Ganapoler's daughter.

Such fond memories! I use to frequent The Trident while living in Sausalito from 1969 to 1973. It definitely was the Hot Spot to go to...lunch on the deck, beautiful furled wood bar, ferns, ramos fizzes, the FABULOUS Tequila Sunrise....but let's face it, the Trident was notorious in the 60's for the beautiful <br /> "Bra-Less Waitresses/Godesses" was what everyone love about the hip, happening Trident. I can't wait to go back...I'll be there on opening day! tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-11-14:12897846 Dellapao 2011-11-14T22:57:03Z 2011-11-14T22:57:03Z <span> </span>I'm trying desperately to locate any information (pictures, memories, Ralph Gleason reviews, etc.) of my father - Joao Donato - who used to play the Trident with his Brasilian jazz trio. My understanding is that Chet Baker made an appearance one night when my father was performing and sat in to play. This would have been in the mid/late 1960's (1966-ish). Any recollections will be massively appreciated. Muito, muito obrigada!! tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-11-04:12624866 bob padgett http://happydays.co 2011-11-04T23:41:58Z 2011-11-04T23:41:58Z <span> </span>I was friends with Mike Patrick and I don't think he ever caught one smoker. Mike got shot one night on Curry ave, was wearing his bullet proof vest but had a huge bruise on his chest. He retired as a police officer after that. tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-11-01:12536619 Anil Ranadive 2011-11-02T00:42:11Z 2011-11-02T00:42:11Z <span> </span>Does anyone remember the wonderful piano sessions by the great Bill Evans on the Trident deck held on Sunday afternoons? I loved these sessions which I could enjoy with just one of those heavenly Ramos Fizzes for $1. Later it was Denny Zeitlin and also Vince Gauraldi. I am not sure of the years when these took place, I would say late 1960s to mid 1970s? tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-10-12:12107158 Brahna Cicero 2011-10-12T14:09:29Z 2011-10-12T14:09:29Z <span> </span> <span> </span>I used to work at the Trident in 1974 and 1975. The stories I could tell! I used to wait on Bill Graham all the time, along with lots of other famous people.<br /> <br /> There were only female servers, and all of us had to be very beautiful. When they hired you, they took your picture and put it in a big book that was kept in the office. <br /> Then, when Frank Weber's friends came into town, they would go through the book and pick out the girls they liked and wanted to "get to know better."<br /> <br /> The best part for me was that the chef, Pierre, was the best chef I had ever worked with. He could take a piece of fresh fish and add a sauce, and it was a miracle of taste. He used to make a fresh fruit omelette that was incredible. <br /> <br /> It was a different time. Some of it was wonderful. tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-09-20:11784879 Ken 2011-09-20T09:53:18Z 2011-09-20T09:53:18Z Hi Dave, I'm trying to get some info on the Jazz Club and specifically Bill Evans' Trio gig 14th/19th May 1964. I don't suppose you have any recollection of this or perhaps an outside photo of the club as it was then?<br /> It's very interesting reading your reminiscences and as a fellow musician I can well relate to your sitting in episode. May I correct an error in your last paragraph: Gary Burton plays Vibes (Vibraphone) - as do I - and calling it a xylophone is the ultimate insult to a Vibes player!!!!! I'm joking of course but I'm sure you will know what I mean?<br /> Anyway, I hope you can help and look forward to hearing from you.<br /> Kind regards, Ken. tag:www.tridentrestaurant.com,2011-07-29:11236970 Linda Reynolds 2011-07-29T21:45:15Z 2011-07-29T21:45:15Z Re: Donna, above...<br />The Trident restaurant along with many other investment properties and business ventures were all owned by the Kingston Trio Inc. which was comprised of Nick Reynolds, Bob Shane, Dave Guard and Frank Werber. The restaurant - especially the remodel of the Trident from jazz club into the exotic place many remember from the late sixties - was Frank's project, his baby; but owned by each member of the corporation. Frank was their business manager and oversaw the various ventures while the "talent" worked and later retired. But they all owned it.<br />Thanks and cheers, L. Reynolds
