  (11) Come On Down to Central Avenue, Jazz in Mid-20th Century LA

  In this programme we explore the sounds of the mid-20th-century Los Angeles jazz scene with historian Steve Isoardi, editor of the oral history book Central Avenue Sounds.

  Jam sessions, bebop, r & b, big bands, visits from Hollywood celebrities; as the center of African-American culture in L.A., Central Avenue had it all. We'll hear the music of artists such as Dexter Gordon, Howard McGhee, Hadda Brooks, Charles Mingus, Gerald Wilson, Lionel Hampton and other jazz greats who got their start on the Avenue or spent significant time there. With Steve Isoardi as our guide, we'll also take a verbal stroll through the vibrant streets of the Central Avenue neighbourhood circa 1945 (WFIU)
