The Colored Musicians Club is one of Buffalo’s oldest music venues. Jazz giants from Count Basie to Billie Holiday played there, but even with the grandeur of its star-studded guest list the club remains as down home and friendly as a backyard barbecue. Listen as club regulars Les Davis, Charlie Reedy, Shirley Reeves and George Scott show us why the club is more than just an historical institution: it’s also a fun place to spend a Monday night.
