More on The Village Gate
Description from Wikipedia:
The Village Gate was a nightclub at the corner of Thompson and Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, New York.
Art D'Lugoff opened the club in 1958, on the ground floor and basement of 158 Bleecker Street. The large Chicago School structure built in 1896 by renowned architect Ernest Flagg . was known at the time as Mills House No. 1 and served as a flophouse for transient men.
Throughout its 38 years the Village Gate featured such greats as John Coltrane, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, Coleman Hawkins, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Vasant Rai, and Nina Simone. Aretha Franklin made her first New York appearance there.
The “Salsa Meets Jazz” series at the Village Gate was a seminal part of the history of New York Latin music. In the 60’s, radio DJ and Latin music advocate Symphony Sid hosted a regular Monday night concert at the Village Gate entitled “Monday Nights at the Gate” featuring the best of New York’s thriving Latin music scene. As salsa music began to grow in popularity, the Alegre record label began to host quite a few events at the Village Gate - many of which resulted in live recordings. Some of the live recordings from the Village Gate that made a huge impression were the Alegre All-Star (and later Tico All-Star) Descarga sessions. In 1977, WRVR Latin music DJ Roger Dawson developed a weekly event that brought a top Latin band together with a guest jazz soloist. Mr. Dawson named the event “Salsa Meets Jazz” and the musical results are legendary.
In Spring 2008 the space was re-opened as a multi-use performance venue and gallery bar called (le) poisson rouge .
