Club Newyorkese, situato in un sottoscala, nel cuore del Greenwich Village – 178, 7a Avenue, vicino all’11a Strada – aperto nel 1935 da Max Gordon (nato nel 1902 in una famiglia originaria della Lituania). All’inizio era frequentato da cantanti, poeti e bluesmen (che succedono a Leadbelly, ingaggiato nel 1941 su raccomandazione del cineasta Nicholas Ray), poi a poco a poco vi si esibiscono solo musicisti jazz – Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, il Modern Jazz Quartet, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, ma anche molte big band che si ammassano su una minuscola pedana. A partire dal 1966 ogni lunedì il Vanguard presenta la Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (nata come Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, poi diventata la Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra dopo la partenza e la morte del trombettista), e il resto della settimana i gruppi dei migliori jazzisti moderni. Al contrario degli altri storici jazz club di Manhattan (Half Note, Five Spot, Birdland, Slug’s, Jimmy Ryan’s), il locale che fu di Max Gordon resta ancora in attività. Testimone della sua storia un impressionante elenco di registrazioni dal vivo.

New York Club, located in a basement, in the heart of Greenwich Village - 178, 7th Avenue, near 11th Street - opened in 1935 by Max Gordon (born in 1902 in a family originally from Lithuania). At first, the Village Vanguard opens its doors to singers, poets, and bluesmen (who followed in Leadbelly, hired in 1941 on the recommendation of the filmmaker Nicholas Ray). Then little by little, they performed only jazz musicians - Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, the Modern Jazz Quartet, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, but also many big bands that pile up on a tiny platform. Every Monday, Starting from 1966, the Vanguard presents the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (born as Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, then became the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra after the departure and death of the trumpeter), and the rest of the week the best bands modern jazz musicians. Unlike other historic Manhattan jazz clubs (Half Note, Five Spot, Birdland, Slug's, Jimmy Ryan's), the club that used to belong to Max Gordon is still in business. An impressive list of live recordings testifies to its history.
