What's new

Dante Exum analysis of a highlight real by a Laker fan.

Great Salt Lakers, New Orleans Jazz, LA Smog Botox Attack. Lets set things straight.

Utah actually was an important place for Jazz music. Joe McQueen and Red Nichols were from here. Porters and Waiters Club in Ogden hosted many of the greats numerous times, and was one of the most famous Jazz clubs in the nation. Ogden really was a hot spot post WWII because of its place on the railroad line between Kansas City and San Francisco. Salt Lake also had The Shubrick, Saltair, and The Salt Palace (the historic one on 9th and Main w/ the horsetrack and gambling) that had some keynote concerts and jam sessions.

Then there is also this little gem written about SLC [video=youtube_share;BgawF0W9i-Q]https://youtu.be/BgawF0W9i-Q

We aren't New Orleans or Kansas City important to Jazz, but we have made our stamp on it. Not like LA w/ no Lakes.

Joe McQueen isn't from Utah..... He moved to Utah at age 26.
