CENTRAL AVENUE: An Extraordinary Story of the South LA Music Legends Who Changed the World

Back by popular demand, we’re remounting one of our most popular, talked-about performances of our 2022 season. If you missed it the first time, now is your chance to celebrate the legacy of jazz that began on Central Avenue, the west coast’s answer to the Harlem Renaissance.
