The Club Dilisa was one of the great jazz venues in Chicago. From 1934 until 1958 it stood at 55th and State. Comparing itself to the Cotton Club in Harlem, the Dilisa was integrated from the beginning, whereas the Cotton Club accepted only whites in the audience for many years. During its heyday in the 1930s and 40s, the club would remain open 24 hours a day, offering round-the-clock entertainment with musicians, dancers and vaudeville acts.
