2nd Annual Diet Coke Women In Jazz Festival

If I were one of those women playing in September, I don't know how I'd feel about being advertised as a "Diet Coke Woman."

[Lois Gilbert]

I thought that last year too Tom!!


BTW

The legendary jazz drummer/singer Grady Tate introduced the second set last night at Dizzy's by remarking that "I have played jazz music in clubs and various theatres all over the world for the past 50 years, and I am here to tell you that this is the most fabulous arena for Jazz that I've encountered...this is the greatest place of all."
