One of the key venues in the 1950s was the 'London Jazz Club' at 100 Oxford Street, renamed the '100 Club' in the 1960s to encompass a broader musical remit. Originally a restaurant, live music was first played at this venue by Victor Feldman and his band in 1942. American servicemen, some who were well known jazz musicians, such as Glenn Miller, visited the club and its reputation grew during the war. In 1948, the club was renamed the London Jazz Club and later in the 1950s, was briefly known as 'The Humphrey Lyttelton club'. In 1952, Walter Hanlon staged an exhibition of his work at the London Jazz Club, and this display includes photographs of the private view in full swing, as well as portraits of some of the many artists that performed at the club, including Wally Fawkes, Steve Race and Joe Harriott.
