Statements
James Spaulding: There were quite a few nightclubs that were happening, like The Blue Coronet on Fulton Street, I remember playing there with Sonny Stitt. Also there was a place called The Continental, which was right off Fulton Street, and then there was the Baby Grand [Brooklyn] which was right on Fulton and Nostrand Avenue. There were several other places — like the Club La Marchal, where we did “The Night of the Cookers” [famous record date], that was right on Nostrand and President Streets, but that didn't happen until 1965. A lot of things were going down between that time.
