The Coca-Cola Generations In Jazz Festival September 6-October 10



Jazz at Lincoln Center is pleased to present The Coca-Cola Generations In Jazz Festival at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, featuring a full array of jazz performers from ages 15-85. The first festival of its kind at Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Coca-Cola Generations in Jazz Festival provides a unique opportunity for talented young jazz musicians to share the stage and work with some of the music's most heralded and established veterans  from pianists and guitarists, to vocalists and bassists.

 These multi-generational musical collaborations will explore the full spectrum of jazz tradition from Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, and Dizzy Gillespie to Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. We hope you'll join us for The Coca-Cola Generations In Jazz Festival, a five-week, spectacular celebrating the legends of jazz while seeking to create new ones.
