Hardbopjazz Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 I was reading the liner notes to the Dexter Gordon Jazz Icons DVD. Lorraine Gordon talked about one reason Dexter moved to Europe was because he couldn't get a cabaret card to play in New York due to his drug arrest. This was the same for other jazz musicans too. About when did cabaret cards become obsolete? Quote
