Everything about The Village Vanguard totally explained
The
Village Vanguard is a
jazz club in
New York City founded in 1935 by
Max Gordon. At first it also featured other forms of music such as
folk music and beat poetry, but it switched to an all-jazz policy in
1957.
Over a hundred jazz albums have been recorded at the venue since the (originally single) album under
Sonny Rollins name in 1957. The two most famous engagements in the club's history are probably those of
Bill Evans and
John Coltrane, both of which took place in
1961.
Wynton Marsalis regularly recorded at the club in the early 1990s; the results were issued in a multi-disc set. Other musicians to release notable albums recorded live at the Village Vanguard include
Dexter Gordon,
Woody Shaw,
Joe Henderson, and
Brad Mehldau.
Since Max Gordon died in 1989, the club has been run by Lorraine Gordon, his widow.
