Many foreign artists have been guests at Little MANUELA, though snap shots of some do not exist, so we cannot show all of them to you. Our regular guests often bring these artists as their own guests to Little MANUELA.

Salena Jones will not sing while under contract, being very conscientious of her voice.

Little MANUELA must have appealed to her, and saying that there is no such club so nice in London, sang "Cheek to Cheek" before leaving.

The 2nd time that Salena visited Little MANUELA, Freddie Cole, Nat King Cole's younger brother also came in.

They were surprised and delighted, and exclaimed that it was unbelievable that they would run into each other so far from their respective homes.

Mr. Mitsuo Godo is good friends with Freddie Cole, and comes with him every time Freddie is in Tokyo.

The snap below is of the live show by the Freddie Cole Trio in the late 1990's.

Craig Thompson is an up-and-coming singer who has his own big band and is based in Dallas, Texas, USA.

He was invited to sing at HRH Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, along with such greats as Paul McCartney. He himself was very surprised about this. His blues are really something.

This is very old, but here's Stevie Wonder. Now, couldn't those who are photographed with him been looking a bit more smarter?

Take a look at the young guy on the front left. This is the owner, Mitsuo Nakata, ages ago.

John Hicks is a modern Jazz pianist who was the pianist for the Jazz Messengers.

He visited us when Suzie Kuroiwa, who resides in Sapporo was on a Japan-wide tour, had a get together at the end of her Tokyo performance at Little MANUELA. John's quartet had accompanied her. One of our long time guests, Mr. Ono is an avid Suzie fan, and brought the entire troupe to Little MANUELA.

John's favorite song is "A Beautiful Friendship" and he asked "Won't some one join me?" so the Webmaster is confirming the lyrics with him before playing.

One ??? Ambassador to Japan.
Who and where he is from is a secret, just in case there is any fall out on the webmaster and the owner.

If his name becomes public, he won't be able to visit us anymore.
