    The Blue Coronet

    1969

    A Bed-Stuy jazz club, now shut. Its owner told The Independent Ear that Miles Davis played there regularly, that Thelonious Monk drew crowds, and that Etta Jones played it many times. A 1969 bootleg of Davis's quintet is the only known live recording made at the club, per The Independent Ear.
