Jazz drummer and club owner, Albert Coleman, joins hosts Bev Smith and William Hosea by phone for a trip down the Avenue as he remembers the jazz scene of the 1960s and 70s and shares some fond memories of Indiana Avenue jazz legend, Wes Montgomery. As always, Bring It On! explores headline news and local calender events of interest to the African-American community.
PART ONE
In the 1930s, Indiana Avenue was the nucleus for jazz musicians. Just about every musician going East, West, North or South could come to the Avenue to jam. Jazz remained a staple of life and culture in Indianapolis throughout the 60s and 70s and a popular meeting place for musicians and enthusists was Al's British Lounge. Albert Coleman took over The British Lounge and reopened it as Al’s British Lounge in 1969. The Lounge became a popular meeting place for jazz musicians from 1969 until its closing in 1975. Many recalled the great atmosphere and music at the Lounge performed by Al’s Three Souls Jazz Trio and singer Aretta La Marre Bush.
