Not the “The Cotton Club [that] was a 20th-century nightclub in New York City… located on 142nd Street and Lenox Avenue from 1923 to 1936, then briefly in the midtown Theater District until 1940. [That] club operated during the United States’ era of Prohibition and Jim Crow era racial segregation. Black people initially could not patronize the Cotton Club.” more at Wikipedia.
