The Half Note was a jazz club located at the corner of Hudson & Spring Streets in Manhattan. The club was known for its showcasing of up-and-coming jazz musicians in the 1950's and 60's, and its defraying costs with live radio broadcasts on Friday nights, hosted by Alan Grant. A number of albums were recorded at the club, including the acclaimed Live at the Half Note: One Up, One Down by John Coltrane and Smokin' at the Half Note by Wes Montgomery. Currently the club is closed. The space today is occupied by a deli.
