FANTASTIC!
This book is as much a paean to Central Avenue in the '30s, '40s and '50s as to black music and the many heralded and unheralded black musicians and entertainers. Author Tom Reed writes: "Central Avenue, the street of dreams, the hub, smoke-filled rooms, after-hours joints, jazz and blues, the gathering place of the black bourgeoisie, dance halls, theaters, nite clubs, filled with women, illegal booze, service personnel and illegal gambling." A former disc jockey, Reed gathered and collated hundreds of publicity stills, posters, fliers, ads and clippings from various collections. The photos, with elongated captions, offer useful historical information.
