-            After the events of 9/11/2001 transformed the economic landscape of
-            New York City, Smalls Jazz Club went bankrupt in 2002. Borden then
-            focused his energies on creating Fat Cat, a popular spot for college
-            age people. Smalls was taken over by a Brazilian bar owner who renamed
-            the place “The Rio Bar”, which became a dismal failure. Frustrated by his
-            failure, he approached Borden and asked him to re-open Smalls with him as
-            owner and Mitch as manager. Mitch agreed and Smalls was reborn in 2004. By
-            2007 the Brazilian owner realized that the jazz business was a poor one,
-            decided to put the club up for sale. It was in February of 2007 that jazz
-            pianist Spike Wilner and his friend Lee Kostrinsky became partners with
-            Borden and sought to restore the club to its original vibrant spirit.
-            Kostrinsky stayed on until 2011 when he decided to sell his share of the
-            club. Mitch Borden and Spike Wilner continued to run the club until Borden’s
-            retirement in 2019.  Smalls Jazz Club has emerged as the top club of its
-            kind – a throwback to another era when jazz clubs were both proving ground
-            for top artists but also social scenes for the jazz community. Smalls Jazz Club
-            now has a international reputation and draws fans from all over the world as
-            a destination spot for great jazz. In September of 2014, Wilner and Borden
-            opened the second club on the opposite corner of West 10th street and 7th ave – Mezzrow.
-            Dedicated to the great “Really The Blues” Mezz Mezzrow, Mezzrow draws its inspiration
-            for the great piano rooms of the New York past, particularly Bradley’s.
