New Orleans native Jimmie Noone led this band at the Apex Club on the second floor of 330 East 35th Street in Chicago’s Southside from 1928 to 1930. The bar was raided by federal agents and closed for selling alcohol during Prohibition in 1930. Noone’s smooth clarinet playing was a big influence on Benny Goodman, and the Swing era that would follow.
