He lives on, in the fact that being compared to Stringfellows is an obvious claim of misogyyny.

Lorraine Gordon, owner of the Village Vanguard. Her husband Max opened the place in 1935; she took it over after his death in 1989. Max Gordon was her second husband; before that, she was married to Alfred Lion, co-founder of Blue Note Records.

I'd think Lorraine Gordon and Matt Murphy could tell you some stories. Those are a couple of people that were first hand witnesses and participants in a whole lot of good music.
For those NYC ILXORs, have you been to the Village Vanguard and what is it like today? It seems that it is still a pretty key jazz club in that music scene even today.

xpost Went a few times in the mid 2000s when a good friend's band had a mini residency there. Iconic, subterranean and you could literally hear a pin drop in between tunes ( after applause). I was in awe of the place. Also very small.
― An Uphill Battle For Legumes (Capitaine Jay Vee), Sunday, 17 June 2018 16:59 (eight years ago)
Yeah, I've been there a half dozen times or so over the last 20 years (first show: Cecil Taylor, 1997). It's exactly the same room it was in the 1930s, 40s, 50s...they've upgraded the sound system, I guess, and probably bought new furniture a time or two, but that's pretty much it. It's a small triangular room, one flight down from the street, with almost no good sight lines unless you're directly in front of the stage. It's not very tourist-friendly, so the people that are there are usually attentive listeners rather than folks on dinner dates. You can hear the sound of the subway mixing with the band sometimes. I think they're pretty testy about people taking pictures during the show, too; I rarely see any on social media, though I see lots of pictures from places like the Jazz Standard, Smalls, the Jazz Gallery, etc.
