Time Out says

Al Capone and other gangsters used to hang here in the 1920s, but these days it’s all about the music. Owner Dave Jemilo, who returned the club to its original luster in the 1980s, books smart bebop and free jazz with a discriminating ear. Local favorites Alfonso Ponticelli and Chris Foreman both maintain residencies throughout the year. Come early, as it’s usually understandably busy.
