Join us for a presentation on The Impresario: Leon Heflin and the World’s First Annual Jazz Festival by the author, Deborah Swan.

Deborah has dedicated herself to honoring and preserving the legacy of her grandfather, Leon
Heflin Sr. Heflin was the producer of the long running Cavalcade of Jazz at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, California. Cavalcade of Jazz is considered the first large-scale Jazz music event in the United States.

This event is part of the CSUN University Library’s Black History Month event series.
