Cool Cat Corner

It was called the Cool Cat Corner, the northeast corner of the legendary Savoy Ballroom in NYC, and it is where creativity and personal expression ruled. This is where Frankie Manning and Shorty George and their friends congregated; where Herbert "Whitey" White drafted the members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers; and where impromptu exhibitions and competitions called "jams" took place so great dancers could shine surrounded by a circle of admirers.
