“The L.S.J.M.was based at the Bodega restaurant on Cross St.In the 50's and 60's they had jazz sessions there on Weds.and Sats.Usually the Sat.band would be a London band,Mick Mulligan,Ken Colyer etc.It was a basement club and was THE place on Sat.I went there in the 50's and it was always packed.I used to play with the Dallas Jazz Band on occasional Weds.
Regarding The Vieux Carre club that was the Thatched House pub at the bottom of Market St.just round the corner from the Bodega.Frids.was mainly modern jazz and Sats.was trad.I used to play there with the Dizzy Burton Jazz Aces every Sat.in the late 50's.The name Vieux Carre refers to a section of early New Orleans.
