I will say, however, that for anyone interested in Jimbo's Bop City, they should look at a fantastic book called "Harlem Of The West: The San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Era" by Elizabeth Pepin and Lewis Watts (Chronicle Books 2006).<br /><br />The book has a 20-page chapter on Jimbo's Bop City, including numerous fantastically reproduced photographs. Indeed, the cover photo for the book shows John Handy, Pony Poindexter and John Coltrane jamming at Bop City, probably at about 3am.<br /><br />Jimbo's Bop City was at 1690 Post (at Buchanan), and while the book is not more specific than to say that the club closed in 1965, it does say that the wooden Victorian that housed the club was moved around the corner to 1712 Fillmore. <br /><br />The book is full of amazing artifacts, like a picture of the Fillmore Auditorium in 1914 (then called the Majestic Hall), and ads from Jack's and it's successor, Jack's on Sutter.
