More than two years after Bohemian Caverns shut its doors for the last time, there’s a potential plan to resurrect the historic D.C. jazz club. Washington Business Journal reports that a longtime jazz program director and band leader at Duke Ellington School of the Arts has a tentative plan to resurrect the U Street Corridor nightclub.

D.C. jazz musician Davey Yarborough, who is set to retire soon from Duke Ellington after 30 years, is considering a fundraising campaign to fund the reopening, according to WBJ. Yarborough and his wife, vocalist Esther Williams, also co-founded the Washington Jazz Arts Institute, a music community mentoring program. A Washington native, he says he grew up attending shows at Bohemian Caverns. He wants the club to thrive as a hub for D.C.’s African American history and culture.

“As a native Washingtonian, I’m seriously interested in making this happen,” Yarborough told WBJ. “As a jazz educator, and with me starting the institute to help supplement jazz education, this became a no brainer.”

First opened in 1926, Bohemian Caverns hosted Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Cab Calloway, John Coltrane, and Sonny Rollins, among other jazz greats, in its heyday. The club was closed after the 1968 D.C. riots, and operated on an on-and-off basis in the following 40-ish years. In 2016, the group that owned the Caverns and the two other entities in the building, Tap & Parlour on the main floor and Liv nightclub above, announced that they would close the entire operation. In a Washington City Paper article at the time, Omrao Brown, who’d been one of the group’s three co-owners for ten years, blamed the closure on steadily declining profits and a deteriorating relationship with the building’s landlord.

WBJ notes that the property at 2001 11th St. NW is up for lease. While Yarborough tells WBJ that he hasn’t approached the building’s owner yet (he says he’s waiting until he has a solid plan and more money under his belt), he says he has the support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Susan Berning, director of strategic planning and development, tells the site that the group is considering a partnership.

Former Bohemian Caverns co-owner Brown was not immediately available for comment.
