Title: Advertisements about the Babe Baker's Jazz Corner; Pat Kelly's Cincinnati Jazz Hall of History
Description: This is a collection of advertisements about Babe Baker's Jazz Corner created by Jazz pianist and music composter Mr. Pat Kelly. Babe Baker's Jazz Corner was located at 3128 Reading Road. According to Mr. Kelly, Babe Baker's was "one of the best and most contemporary jazz clubs in Cincinnati in the late-50s and 60s [...] John Coltrane Quartet, Lester Young, and Miles Davis were among its many noted performers, as were Cincinnati's own noted Modern Jazz Disciples. Local tenor legend Jimmy McGary played there, with pianist Ed Moss leading a house trio for a time. Edward "Babe" Baker (1916-2005) had also been a jazz DJ on WSAI prior to opening his club and was a successful businessman and entrepreneur whose businesses suffered during the aftermath of the riots of 1968."
