MINTON S

Minton's Playhouse is a jazz club and bar situated on the principal floor of the Cecil Hotel at 210 West 118th Street in Harlem and is an enrolled trademark of Housing and Services, Inc. a New York City philanthropic supplier of strong lodging. The way to the genuine club itself is at 206 West 118th Street where there is a little plaque. Minton's was established by tenor saxophonist Henry Minton in 1938.

Minton's is well known for its part in the improvement of current jazz, otherwise called bebop, where in its stick sessions in the mid 1940s, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke, Charlie Christian, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, spearheaded the new music. Minton's flourished for three decades until its decrease close to the finish of the 1960s, and its possible shutting in 1974. In the wake of being covered for over 30 years, the recently rebuilt club revived its entryways on May 19, 2006, under the name Uptown Lounge at Minton's Playhouse.
