I last went here, several years ago at the behest of my Cousin, Cornelius 'C-Breeze' Mims, who was the director/leader of the house band, The Know-It-Allz, just before Christmas. I got to perform a rendition of The Christmas Song (I actually forgot the words, right after starting, though I had practiced all day before going, I finished with help from the audience [a gentleman in the second row, stage left, kindly mouthed them to me]). This is a very intimate, nice, tidy venue that has been a joy every time I've gone. I moved to another State eight years ago. Since I moved Ms Barbara Morrison has died. I'm glad to see the site still exists. I'll have to make a trip there when I got to Los Angeles again. I would really enjoy seeing FISHBONEVor The SKELETONES here, though Ska is not the usual musical style of the acts that perform here.

I had the opportunity to attend a live performance at The Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center in Leimert Park, Los Angeles. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with fans eager to experience the raw energy of the music. The music was a mix of blues r&b soul and performed by the amazing Los Angeles based L.A. Big Daddy’s. The music filled the room with electrifying energy and soulful melodies that resonated deep within the hearts of everyone present. It’s a small venue that doesn’t matter where you stand because this place was designed with great sight-lines and good sound. Barbara Morrison was a legendary jazz soul blues artist and singer-song stylist whose career took her around the world and into the hearts of countless fans. The creation of this wonderful venue is well deserved and will forever be a reminder of her incredible contributions to the community and history of black culture in Los Angeles California USA.

Really great vibes! My friend and I attended a spoken word/live mic event and really enjoyed ourselves. The band was also extremely talented and everyone was kind and welcoming. Would definitely come again the next time I visit LA!

Awesome venue with a variety of shows and events throughout the year. The stage, lighting and seating is the way it should be for a theater and the sound system is superb. I've performed on many comedy shows there and attended music events there as well
