    Art D’Lugoff’s club at Bleecker and Thompson Streets, 1958 to 1994. It featured musicians including Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis and Edgard Varèse, and the Alegre label held events there that led to live records, among them the Tico All-Stars’ Descargas (1966) with Tito Puente, Ray Barretto and Joe Cuba. In 2008 its downstairs space reopened as (Le) Poisson Rouge, per Wikipedia.
