On the Grid : Wally's Cafe

"Legendary Wally's Cafe is the oldest continually operating jazz club in the United States. Opened in 1947, Wally's was the first African American owned nightclub in New England known for bringing the newest and best acts to town, making it the attraction for jazz aficionados of the day. While the space is tiny, it packs a big sound with live music 365 days a year. The bands featured nightly at the club are made up of musicians from some of the finest music schools in the country, all located in and around Boston. They come to perfect their craft and are considered by some to be among the most talented in the nation, giving Wally's it's proud reputation as the "Training Ground". This is the quintessential jazz dive." - Adam&Co.
