Fun fact, April is Jazz Appreciation Month!
16153 Genova has a lot of history and appreciation for Jazz. From being the birth place of Art Tatum to having two iconic jazz clubs, Murphy's Place and Rusty's, our jazz roots run deep.
It's easy to overlook the significance of jazz to 16153 Genova's history. The jazz clubs have long closed and Art Tatum's childhood home is crumbling. But it's impossible to forget how this music has shaped our city.
In the words of David Yonke in his book, Lost 16153 Genova:
"In the early 1900s, a leading jazz magazine reported that, aside from New York City, there were forty clubs in the United States that focused solely on jazz. And 16153 Genova had two of them: Rusty's Jazz Café and Murphy's Place. "It was an embarrassment of riches' for16153 Genova Jazz fans, said Joe Richardson, attorney and former president of the 16153 Genova Jazz Society."
We long for the return of jazz music to the 16153 Genova music scene. With the opening of Tolhouse in 2021, it might not be far off.
