The 502 Club

The 502 Club One of the Midwest's finest jazz clubs. Let the memories live. Let the music live on. Marty Mellman's 502 Club was one of the hottest spots in Columbus.

During the 1950s and early 1960s, the club, located at ST. Clair and Leonard, hosted many famous entertainers including Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. It is said that Julian "Cannonball" Adderly encouraged a young Nancy Wilson, while at the 502, to leave Columbus for New York. Let the memory live.

When I was just 5 years old I met Chip Willis at my father's bar THE LEMON DROP in the now Short North.

You'll be forever missed & loved by many.

Chip Willis will truly be missed.

Video Of The Day
Miles Davis' first music video.

You don't have to look far, in 2019, to encounter the mystique of trumpeter Miles Davis. There have been anniversary commemorations for the 1959 classic, Kind of Blue, and Bi***es Brew, the hazy jazz-rock opus Davis made in 1969. The iconic musician is also the brilliant, complicated subject of a new documentary film, Birth of the Cool, now playing in theaters. The music video for "Moon Dreams," a standout selection from the film, brings Davis' late-life visual art in dialogue with a classic piece of his music.

The new animated video for "Moon Dreams," from jazz legend Miles Davis, is a sight to behold -- and it's incredibly relaxing, too.
