Correct answer The Blue Note
Fact
Did you know?
The Blue Note opened in 1981 in Greenwich Village, New York, on the initiative of Danny Bensusan. The club wanted to offer jazz artists an intimate place where music would remain at the center of the experience. Over time, it welcomed musicians such as Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Stanley Turrentine and Tito Puente, then developed establishments and partnerships elsewhere in the world. John Coltrane, who died in 1967, obviously could not have performed there. The Cotton Club, Birdland and the Village Vanguard belong to other important periods in New York jazz history.
