For sale is a program from the fourth-annual Indiana Jazz Festival that was held at Roberts Stadium in Evansville, Indiana, on June 23, 24 and 25, 1961. This 32-page booklet is filled with photos and stories about all of the big-name entertainers who appeared in Evansville for this nationally-acclaimed event.
