The Jockey Club was a jazz club at 7 South North Carolina Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. [1]
It was one of the oldest jazz venues in the city, operating since the 1920s. [2] According to author Michael Pollock it was "home to mellow jazz musicians and tired prostitutes". [3] Guitarist Pat Martino notes that Jimmy Smith and Kenny Burrell would frequently play at the club. [4] It was at the Jockey Club that he had first seen Jimmy Smith with Charles Earland. [5]
The Jockey Club was destroyed by a fire in September 1982. The club had previously been closed for years and was reopened in May 1982. [2]
