Change.org - Closing historic jazz club

One of the most legendary jazz and blues clubs in the country could close forever. Arthur’s Tavern is the oldest jazz club in NYC. Its history in the music scene is almost unrivaled. But as clubs emerge from the COVID pandemic, it’s unclear if the owners of Arthur’s Tavern will keep it open. Supporters are pleading with Blue Note Entertainment Group to keep Arthur’s alive. Add your name to help save this piece of music history. Please don’t close Arthur’s Tavern -- NYC’s oldest jazz club! 2,950 have signed Save Arthur's Tavern!’s petition. Let’s get to 5,000!

We don’t want to lose Arthur’s Tavern. It is New York City’s oldest jazz and blues bar. And we do not want to lose it. Dear Blue Note! If you want to renovate the building, please return Arthur’s Tavern to the community. It is too important a piece of history to lose. And, Blue Note, if you want to sell the building (57 Grove Street) please sell to a buyer who will maintain what remains of the rich heritage that is our West Village and keep Arthur’s Tavern alive.  Some years ago a rumor went around that The Blue Note Entertainment Group -- which owns the building -- would be closing Arthur’s Tavern. In response The Blue Note Entertainment Group issued the following statement: "We purchased Arthur’s Tavern so that the site would not become a victim to the changing times. We are committed to preserving jazz and legendary live music venues in New York City. Arthur’s Tavern is the epitome of this mission, a truly historic venue that will be here for many years to come." Please add your name to this list of people who would like The Blue Note to keep its promise to the worldwide community of jazz and its heritage in NYC.  DEAR BLUE NOTE! DO NOT CLOSE ARTHUR’S TAVERN!  PLEASE.....KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO NEW YORK CITY!
