Birdland
When the original Birdland opened fifty one years ago in December, 1949, Charlie Parker was the headliner and the club was located on Broadway, a few blocks west of 52nd Street, which was a hotbed of jazz in the 1930s and 40s. For the next fifteen years, the club s survival formula was built upon memorable double and triple bills, commencing at 9 p.m. and sometimes lasting til dawn.Post a Countdown Widget
