Barbara Morrison is a legendary jewel of South Los Angeles. When talking to Morrison, you are talking to more than a jazz icon, you are talking to the sweetest lady ever. This conversation had a purpose however as she brings exciting news.
On April 30, @ 7:30 PM PDT, The Friends of Jazz at UCLA will virtually honor Grammy and Oscar winner Herbie Hancock. The event is sponsored by KJAZZ and the Ralph Ehrenpreis Performance Fund and will stream live from the Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center in Leimert Park. Morrison shared how the event brings together multiple reasons for a celebration.
