This May Dale Chapman and I travelled south of Interstate 10 to visit the World Stage, a legendary jazz drummer Billy Higgins' jazz performance and educational space. Located in the Crenshaw District, home to a renowned African American arts community, the World Stage hosts concerts, conducts educational workshops, and provides a venue for informal jam sessions. The World Stage is a cozy room with a small stage and seating for about 30 people, situated in an inconspicuous commercial strip on Degnan Boulevard.
