Jazz 91.9 WCLK will celebrate its 40th

Anniversary with an elegant evening on Friday, May 9, 8:00 p.m. at Cobb Energy

Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta featuring Jazz Icon George Benson. Tickets are on sale now at all Ticketmaster outlets. Click here to reserve your seats.

The evening kicks off in grand style with a

Jazz Legacy and Community Honors Awards Gala from 6:00 p.m.

until 7:30 p.m., also to be held at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre before the signature concert with George Benson. WCLK will salute the

people, places and organizations that have contributed significant resources to help preserve the legacy of Atlanta’s longest running Jazz

station and its mission to uplift Jazz, the music, artists and culture…as well as its tradition of public service.

The Legacy Dinner is a corporate sponsored event with partial proceeds benefiting two important initiatives for WCLK in 2014. The Jazz in the Classroom education

project now in its 12th year and Expanding the

Call to True Beauty, supported by Verizon Wireless, a domestic violence awareness and prevention program.

Expanding the Call to True Beauty is a new radio show on WCLK, beginning in April 2014.

The dinner guests will be serenaded with special

Jazz performances from Vocalist Dianne Reeves. A VIP reception is also

planned with music by the Clark Atlanta University Jazz Sextet.
