For over 70 years, the Village Vanguard in New York City has marked the center of the known jazz universe to an international circle of musicians and music fans. With its triangle shape performance hall, its sound is suited best for jazz, and for this reason, many musicians have decided to record their performances at this fine establishment.

Lorraine Gordon first opened the Vanguard in 1935 as a variety venue presenting sketch comedy, poetry and dinner. Since then, the club’s tradition of left-leaning politics and irreverence — Yiddish poets in the ’30s, absurdists like Professor Irwin Corey in the ’50s — is reflected in the progressive jazz it still presents.
