    Blue Note Jazz Club

    1981

    Danny Bensusan opened the Blue Note in Greenwich Village on 30 September 1981, and its opening performance featured the Nat Adderley Quintet, per Wikipedia. Carmen McRae, who had left New York for Southern California, appeared in New York regularly, usually at the Blue Note, with two engagements a year through most of the 1980s; she withdrew from public performance in May 1991, after an episode of respiratory failure only hours after completing an engagement here, per Wikipedia’s article on her.
