PAUL'S MALL Æ JAZZ WORKSHOP Retrospective Announces Corporate Sponsor

The first corporate sponsor to fund "The Paul's Mall Æ Jazz Workshop Era: 15 Years of Music History in Boston (1963-1978)", a collection of archival material from the two internationally-known music venues in downtown Boston, is SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111 - http://www.scullersjazz.com/) and DOUBLETREE GUEST SUITES-BOSTON. With the first corporate sponsor in place, the project will be seeking other sponsors to help fund the coordination of the collection over the next year.

"We are delighted to be the first to get on board with this project," says Dayla Santurri, General Manager of SCULLERS. "Fred Taylor has been a major force in music history and we are proud to be affiliated with him. This gives us the opportunity to join the hundreds of thousands of people who came through the clubs in saying "thanks, Fred" for many years of world-class entertainment."

The comprehensive collection includes original contracts, photographs and live recordings, and will be donated to the Music Department of the Boston Public Library in April 2003. A public ceremony and city-wide events will be scheduled to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the closing of the clubs, which were located across from the Boston Public Library on Boylston Street at Copley Square.

From the early career launchings of Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bette Midler and Earth, Wind and Fire, to comedians Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, Cheech and Chong and jazz legends John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, PAUL'S MALL and THE JAZZ WORKSHOP offered a very hip venue with an international reputation for presenting the super stars of the day and hot new up-and-coming performers.

Those interested in supporting the project or in submitting stories, photos or materials regarding PAUL'S MALL, THE JAZZ WORKSHOP or Fred Taylor may contact Dawn Singh at 617-522-8633. Fred Taylor is Honorary Chairman, Dawn Singh serves as Project Coordinator and Karl Nurse is Producer of the retrospective.
