Welcome to the Indiana Avenue Jazz Experience Community
I’m Aleta Hodge, historian, author, speaker, and cultural preservationist.
This community was created for people who love music, storytelling, culture, and the rich
legacy of Indiana Avenue.
Through my books, virtual tours, research, and speaking engagements, I’ve dedicated my work
to preserving and sharing the stories, people, and music that helped shape generations.
Inside this community, you’ll discover:
• Jazz, blues, cabaret, and gospel history and cultural storytelling
• Rare photos and historical insights
• Classes by music educators in vocal or instrumental development
• Updates on upcoming experiences, projects, and book releases
• Conversations celebrating music, history, and community
Whether you found us through a tour, a book, or referral, I’m excited you’re here!
Let’s keep the music alive together,
— Aleta Hodge
