View from the stage at the Central Avenue Jazz Festival

From the early 1900s to the 1950s, Central Avenue in Los Angeles became the epicenter for music, especially with the sounds of large, active rhythm and blues and the lively, upbeat tones of jazz. With music as its binder, Central Avenue quickly became the heart and soul of the African American community in Los Angeles.
