Tiffany Club

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiffany Club was a jazz music venue in Los Angeles that existed in the early 1950s.

The Tiffany Club (corner of W. 8th Street and Normandie Avenue) was operated by Chuck Landis († 1986), the later owner of the rock club Roxy on the Sunset Strip ; the manager was Jack Tucker. Well-known musicians such as Wardell Gray , Billie Holiday and Oscar Peterson performed there at the beginning of the 1950s . The guests of the club included u. a. also Marilyn Monroe .

The Tiffany Club also recorded (partly for the radio) the concerts of Stan Getz in September 1952 and Chet Baker in August 1954. Charlie Parker had a two-week engagement there in the summer of 1952; Art Blakey , Curly Russell and Kenny Drew senior played in his band . Parker's involvement in the Tiffany Club was overshadowed by constant arguments with club management.
