During the Jazz Age, The Cotton Club in Harlem was more than a celebrated nightlife hotspot—it was a stage where music, power, and crime collided. This story explores the dark ties between the entertainment industry and organized crime, focusing on Dutch Schultz, a notorious mobster whose influence extended from bootlegging to murder. As Schultz’s empire grew, so did the corruption and violence that threatened to destroy everything in its wake, including the club's reputation. Set against a backdrop of roaring jazz, racial tensions, and Prohibition-era decadence, this tale captures the chaos and intrigue that defined The Cotton Club’s legacy.
