Jazz drinks in gift from Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola Co. is donating $10 million to help build a jazz facility at New York’s Lincoln Center.
The Frederick P. Rose Hall will be the world’s first performing arts center designed specifically for jazz, officials said Tuesday. It is scheduled to open in fall 2004.
A 140-seat jazz club in the new facility will be named Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in honor of the Atlanta-based donor and jazz great John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie. The club will be one of three main performance venues within the new facility, and is expected to produce hundreds of performances a year.
