Apex / Club Alabam
Historic Central Avenue Jazz Corridor
Curtis Mosby, the conductor of the Dixieland Blue Blowers, opened the Apex on Thanksgiving 1928. The classy nightclub was home to revues featuring beautiful showgirls in extravagant costumes. Johnny Otis led the house band, but Alabam was the most popular stage for known jazz musicians who were on Central Avenue.
Marker is at the intersection of South Central Avenue and East 42nd Place, on the right when traveling south on South Central Avenue.
