I recall a club in Huntington, not far from the GB, but a mile or so north, where Cal Tjader would play his vibraphone frequently. I was there on Halloween about 1976 or 1977. Bonnie Raitt was playing that night and she was amazing. Does anyone remember the name of the club?Post a comment here, if you know anything.

I lived in H.B. back then but I can't remember a club a mile north of Main St.

This club might have been in Sunset Beach. I remember it but just can't remember the name. Cal Tjader was a regular performer.

There was a club in Seal Beach in the 60's and maybe into the 70's called the Cosmos. It was owned by the same man who owned the Golden Bear and the Prison of Socrates in Balboa, George Nikos.
People often performed at all three over a weekend.

Its Sam's Seafood! I just drove by there. I think it is finally closed and should have been about 10 years ago.! I celebrated New Years there and I think we went to dinner there for a prom.

Wasn't Sam's Seafood a large restaurant? I remember a small club across the street from the ocean, I believe just south of Goldenwest. A guy would play some instrument that looked like a piano, but he used sticks with rubber tips to strike the "keys". Don't remember the name of the place. tho.
