Description
Opened in 1914, this monument to the history of jazz was at the time forbidden to Blacks. Comedies were produced here. In 1934, it took its current name and became a noted venue for African-American performers, putting on memorable shows featuring Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and James Brown. Amateur Night (every Wednesday) has famously revealed some huge talents.
