SOUTH-CENTRAL : Landmark Jazz Club Reopens After 25 Years
- Share via
The 5-4 Ballroom and Supper Club, a historic jazz club considered by some to be the Apollo Theater of South-Central Los Angeles, reopened Friday.
The club, a cultural landmark that originally featured big bands, was built in 1922.
The club had been idle for 25 years until Oliver W. Wilson, a professor in the department of political science at Cal State Dominguez Hills, bought it in 1980 and began the restoration project.
