The Village Vanguard is a legendary Jazz club in Manhattan’s West Village. It is NYC’s oldest operating Jazz club.
The Vanguard was founded by Max Gordon as a Folk club in 1935. He and his wife Lorraine ran it for the rest of their lives. They made it a Jazz club in 1957. So many legends played there, that the club itself has become legendary. Roy Eldridge became a popular booking, and the club helped launch the career of Thelonious Monk.
When artists play, they play for the week. There is live Jazz nightly at 8pm and 10pm. Monday nights with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra are always great. When you enter the room, you are walking into Jazz history.
