The Cotton Club’s best years were from 1922 to 1935. Following the Harlem riots of 1935, the establishment moved to West 48th Street, but the club never regained its earlier success and was closed in 1940. Since then the Cotton Club name has been The Cotton Club (1984) and Jazz (2001) brought the story to new audiences. This article was most recently revised and updated by

PODCAST The musical story of the Cotton Club, the most famous (and infamous) nightclub of the Jazz Age. The Cotton Club, Harlem’s most prominent nightclub during the Prohibiton era, delivered some of the greatest music legends of the Jazz Age — Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Fletcher Henderson, Ethel Waters, the Nicolas Brothers. Some of the most iconic songs in the American songbook made their debut at the Cotton Club or were popularized in performances here. But the story of gangster Owney Madden‘s notorious supper club is hardly one to be celebrated. That the Cotton Club was owned by Prohibition’s most ruthless mob boss was just the beginning. The club enshrined the segregationist policies of the day, placing black talent on the stage for the pleasure of white patrons alone. Even the club’s flamboyant decor — by Ziegfeld’s scenic designer, no less — made sure to remind people of these ugly admission practices. This is the tale of Harlem late night — of hot jazz and illegal booze, of great music and very bad mobsters. Featuring some of the greatest tunes of the day by Ellington, Calloway, King Oliver and more. __________________________________________________________ The Cotton Club was spawned from an earlier nightspot called Club Deluxe, owned by boxer Jack Johnson.

A trip to the Red Hook Fairway may be your excuse to visit the iconic warehouses of Red Hook, but once you are here, stop for a moment and look around. You are looking at American and international history. It’s a story of how these Red Hook warehouses—or “stores,” as they used to be called—were the conduit between the cotton fields of the South and the textile mills of upstate New York and New England. And it’s the story of how an Irish immigrant not only made his fortune, but gave Red Hook its shape. This is the story of King Cotton, and its connection to Brooklyn. The cotton gin, and the spinning jenny, change everything Cotton was a natural species in the southern United States, and was grown well before the American Revolution. But separating the seeds from the fibers had to be done by hand, and took time, so cotton production was not particularly lucrative or prolific — even with slave labor — until Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1793. Southern cotton fields during slavery, with overseers. The “gin,” short for engine, was a box that had revolving teeth and a stationary comb. Cotton was fed into it, the handle controlling the teeth was turned, and the fibers were separated, with the seeds falling to the bottom. It was so simple, but it changed everything. Where an individual could seed a pound of cotton in an hour by hand, the gin allowed them to seed 50 pounds in the same amount of time. Cotton was now a highly lucrative crop. Cotton production went from less...

In this process, innumerable institutions played a role, some large and well-known, others neither so large, nor quite so well-known, at least to the public at large. One such organization was the New York Cotton Exchange. It evolved in the aftermath of the Civil War, and over the years grew from an informal, even ad hoc organization into a formalized institution that served both public and private functions. This article by Mr. Lipartito explores the development of the Exchange and its place in the shifting national market for cotton. 3 Dumbell, Stanley, “ The Origins of Cotton Futures,” Economic History, 1 (May 1927), 259–67 passim. The Leverich records in these years cite several innovative futures-type contracts. These years were unusual for the cotton trade, however; so it is difficult to generalize from these records. The attempts to use a futures-type contract to protect against price fluctuations does reveal the needs of the post-war cotton market and the attempts at an innovative response which were taking place. For those unfamiliar, hedging is the offsetting of risks. A cotton merchant would buy a futures contract if he had cotton to sell at a future date. Because the contract was for a set price, he woul...
