Jazz Finds A Home At Lincoln Center

Lincoln Center’s new $128 million performing arts center has finally brought jazz officially into the fold at New York’s flagship musical institution. “No longer will it be squatting in someone else’s territory, as it was at Alice Tully Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. Now Jazz at Lincoln Center can create concerts with a much greater sense of freedom in the practical aspects of scheduling and staging than it could in the past. The new complex, within the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, includes three performance spaces,” ranging in size and style from a 140-seat nightclub to a full-size hall seating 1,200.
