50 years on, a Monday night tradition keeps the Village Vanguard swinging

JEFFREY BROWN:

It's a sound that, every Monday night, comes at audiences at the famous Village Vanguard jazz club. In a dark basement space in Lower Manhattan, the Vanguard is a jazz mecca.

All the greats have played here, and some of the most renowned live recordings have been made here. The club was founded in 1935 by Max Gordon, and 81 years later, it's still a family affair, run now by his daughter Deborah Gordon, and still not your average small business.
