All good things must come to an end and so it is with Black Music Appreciation Month. I closed out the annual celebration with Herb Spivak, co-owner of two of Philadelphia’s legendary jazz clubs, the Showboat and Bijou Café. As a club owner, Herb played host to jazz greats from Cannonball Adderley to Joe Zawinul.

John Coltrane recorded a live album at the Showboat in 1963.

Grover Washington Jr. recorded a live album at the Bijou Café in 1977.

Herb is our special guest at Lee Morgan’s heavenly birthday celebration on July 10, 2023. Click here to register for the free community event.
