The Iridium is a music club located on Broadway in New York City. The club featured weekly performances by Les Paul for nearly fifteen years. The club opened in January 1994 at its original location, at 63rd Street and Broadway in the basement of The Empire Hotel, with a minimal cover charge. That first location, known as the "Iridium Room Jazz Club", was a basement room below the Merlot restaurant across from Lincoln Center and initially booked "traditional, swinging jazz musicians of the second or third level." Ronald Sturm, the club's manager and booker, told The New York Times his goal was to "hire people like the trumpeter Marcus Printup, or Cyrus Chestnut or Carl Allen"—the goal was to give a chance to "younger, mainstream musicians while still booking the legends." In the opening months of its existence, local, unknown jazz groups and solo artists were given the opportunity to perform in front of an audience The original location underwent three renovations, then in August 2001 the club moved to its current location at 1650 Broadway on 51st Street.
