Indianapolis Jazz: the Masters, Legends and Legacy of Indiana Avenue (Music)
David Leander Williams
Get into the music with David Leander Williams as he charts the rise and fall of Indiana Avenue, the "Black Broadway" of Indianapolis, which produced some of the nation's most influential jazz artists. The performance venues that once lined the vibrant thoroughfare were an important stop on the Chitlin' Circuit, and provided platforms for greats like Freddie Hubbard and Jimmy Coe. Through this biography of the bustling street, meet scores of the other musicians who came to prominence in the avenue's heyday, including trombonist J. J. Johnson and guitarist Wes Montgomery, as well as songwriters like Noble Sissle and Leroy Carr.
