USA: Boeing sponsors Chicago Jazz music website

Chicago music website to take flight – with help from Boeing

Music in Chicago is about to get a cyber-boost, thanks to an innovative collaboration between Boeing and the Elastic Arts Foundation, a non-profit presenting organization.

Boeing has contributed an initial $150,000 to an interactive website that Elastic will create, first to promote Chicago jazz, and soon thereafter to champion other genres identified with this city, including blues, gospel, house, R&B, classical and more. If the project proves successful, Boeing is prepared to continue its funding for another two years, while encouraging support from other Chicago corporations and foundations.
