Fifty-nine years ago… ⁣
⁣
McKie Fitzhugh’s Lounge in the South Side of Chicago was a hub for both jazz and blues. Over the years greats such as:  Dizzy Gilespie, Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Max Roach, Ahmad Jamal, Illinois Jacquett, Art Blakely, Al Hibbler and many others performed for small crowds at this tiny venue.  ⁣

This cardboard poster, printed by Globe Printing, showcases Roland Kirk and his Jazz Group played the first twelve nights in August, 1962. John Coltrane came in right after him doing shows between August 15 - August 26th, which just so happens to be tonight. ⁣
⁣
Use your imagination and go back. Bars were filled with smoke, notes, men and women talking about their day and then out comes John Coltrane. History happening in the ordinary moment of every day life. ⁣
