Classic jazz/R&B club that was at one point owned by Wilt Chamberlain...I think Jimmy Smith recorded an entire Blue Note album there...according to Swamp Dogg, the Commodores played there before they started recording for Motown...I understand it still exists? What's it like, what's the back story, they still have live music?
