This funky little club is a
legend in the Midwestern USA. Patrons
listen; they don't dance. It's an old fashioned nightspot in the
hometown of the great Art Tatum. And it draws great talent from
Chicago, Detroit and the very lively jazz scene in Toledo itself.
A fine tradition.

Also in Hanover you can hear
good jazz. You might think it is
not so, but it's the best club in Germany. There you can relax
perfect. The atmosphere there is so nice and there are sold
sandwiches which you can describe in one word: perfect, like the
whole club.
