Ethan Iverson posted some pics of the "upcoming attractions" gig flyers from Slugs' ("in the Far East") which make you wish you could invent a time machine and go back.

Imagine turning up with your horn to a jam session there led by none other than Art Blakey. Or a personal highlight for me being from what I guess is March 1970 with Harold Land and Bobby Hutcherson playing an entire week from 24 "thru" (sic) 29 with Mingus on the following week. Or Ornette on 3-5 September 1971. Just one legend after another playing in the club.

Art Blakey with Billy Harper, Bill Hardman, Julian Priester, Ronnie Mathews & Larry Evans playing ‘Theme’ live at Slugs in 1968:
