Every New Yorker has a spot they call their own, a place where they go to unwind . . .

. . . for those from the East 59th precinct, it was The White Panther Jazz Club, the oldest jazz spot in the city situated among the poorly lit, seedy back streets of New York.

Residents of this city were renowned for their progressive attitudes and The White Panther Jazz Club always had a cutting edge music scene which they all enjoyed. It hosted some of the biggest names in Jazz and had a comfortable, intimate space, where you could drop by for a quick cocktail, or make a total evening of it.

It was the perfect meeting place for the girls and tonight was special . . . Kate was singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by instrumentalists, was often regarded as having purity of tone and wonderful improvisational ability.
