Shep’s Paradise

Rochester’s jazz scene was clearly thriving in the 1950s through 1970s. The aforementioned eight clubs are those that we’ve been able to find multiple sources referring to. However, in our research, we have also come across some other club names without much recorded material about them. Do you or someone you know have memories of these clubs? If so, reach out to us! We’d love to add them to our exhibit. 

• House of Foran

• Club West Indies

• Sweet’s Party House

• Mr. B’s Bar
