Sounds of LA: Celebrating the Jazz Legacy of Altadena

About

Join us for reflection, healing, and celebration as we honor the rich musical legacy of Altadena. In the 1960s, driven by discriminatory housing laws, Black families moved to Altadena, where they cultivated a vibrant jazz scene that became a defining part of the community’s cultural fabric. Over six decades later, this legacy continues to shape jazz in Los Angeles and beyond. Experience the brilliance of this unique musical heritage as we showcase Altadena’s celebrated jazz artists, whose innovative work continues to push boundaries and inspire generations.
