Dizzy’s Jazz Venue Closes for Earthquake Retrofitting

Alison St John (Guest Host): For Jazz purists, Dizzy's on Seventh Avenue, between San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter and the East Village, has been a haven of good music. Its slogan is "Dizzy's, where the music matters most." But this month the venue closed down unexpectedly – unexpectedly for patrons at least. Some of the best jazz players who come to San Diego, come to perform at Dizzy's, so the hope is that this won’t be permanent. Guest
