Yep, but two decades ago, actually more like four, there was the Blackhawk, The Jazz Workshop, Both/And, and Keystone Korner. In that chronological order, I think. Went to the Blackhawk, twice- saw George Shearing and Cal Tjader- before it closed. The Workshop tons of times. Like wise the Both/And which was nearby for me, and Keystone Korner maybe a half dozen. With the tax dollars the city takes in from tourism, they oughta subsidize The Jazz Workshop and farm out booking and running. Cannonball was playing one night and Carmen McRae was sitting right behind me. She was gigging at Sugar Hill across the street. Yep, I have that album. Once, I was seated at a table so close to the stage I could have reached out and touched the bell of Coltrane's tenor had I wanted to. Traded some albums to the owner of Both/And for lifetime free admission. Good times. I miss them madly.
