I've heard about this legendary bar since I was a kid. All the jazz greats played here and Miles Davis had a long term gig here back in the day. I think he was the house band for several months in the late 50s or early 60s. And of course, John Coltrane played here. So while I was out looking for old banks on the west side of detroit, I finally spotted this place. What a great find. I heard a rumor it's gotten some kind of historic designation and there's a drive to preserve and restore it. It's about time! We can't let relics like this pass through our fingertips.
