Nick's in the Village was one of the favorite haunts on the New York jazz scene in the 1930s and '40s. The first house band--led by Bobby Hackett--featured Eddie Condon, Pee Wee Russell and Zutty Singleton. Meade Lux Lewis was the intermission pianist, and you never knew who might drop by.
The Riverwalk Jazz production team is working on a radio show called A Night at Nick's, and we're reaching out to you for stories and memories of the music scene there. Help us paint a picture of what it looked, sounded and felt like inside. Who was playing on the bandstand? What was on the menu? And if you weren't there yourself, do you have stories from family members who were? We'll collect your stories and select some to put on the air and our Website.
The show is coming up soon--in June--so please email your stories to us, let us know how to contact you, and also how to pronounce your name. Send your email to Jan White at [email protected].
