The long standing monthly Madame C. J. Walker Theatre Center's "Jazz on the Avenue" (JOA) performances have been in existence since the mid-1980's. On June 25, 2010, "Jazz on the Avenue" is presenting Indianapolis Jazz master bassist Al Finnell and his ensemble.

JOA is also paying tribute to the February 9, 2010 Indiana General Assembly unanimous passage of Indiana House Concurrent Resolution #38 introduced by the Honorable Representative William A. Crawford. This resolution celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation and urges the establishment of the "19th of June" as Juneteenth National Freedom Day in Indiana. Juneteenth is recognized as a state holiday or state holiday observance in 35 states, the District of Columbia and the United States Congress.

The program will acknowledge Indiana Jazz Masters and, the First Annual Indiana Juneteenth Jazz Legacy Celebration honoring Indianapolis native and internationally renowned jazz master bassist, Dr. Larry Ridley. The celebration is a part of the nationally recognized "June Is Black Music Month!" - CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH JAZZ - "Preserving Our African American Jazz Legacy!" sponsored by the National Asociation of Juneteenth Jazz Presenters (NAJJP) and the African American Jazz Caucus (AAJC).
