Klooks Kleek

United Kingdom

Klooks Kleek was a jazz and rhythm 'n' blues club on the first floor of the Railway Hotel, West Hampstead, north-west London. Named after Klook's Clique (Savoy 12006), a 1956 album by jazz drummer Kenny Clarke, the club opened on 11 January 1961 with special guest Don Rendell (tenor saxophone) and closed nine years later on 28 January 1970 after a session by drummer Keef Hartley's group. There were over 1200 sessions at Klooks Kleek, around 300 of them featuring jazz, and the others rhythm 'n' blues. Zoot Money, Ten Years After, John Mayall, and Graham Bond recorded live albums at Klooks Kleek and it was a popular venue in the British blues and rhythm and blues boom of the early 1960s.
