Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola also features a full menu by Jazz at Lincoln Center's exclusive facility caterer, Great Performances in collaboration with Harlem's Spoonbread Catering, reflecting the diversity of jazz.

Jazz at Lincoln Center received a leadership grant from The Coca-Cola Company towards the creation of the world's first performing arts center designed specifically for jazz, Frederick P. Rose Hall. In recognition of the company's commitment to this authentic art form, Jazz at Lincoln Center named the 140-seat jazz club performance venue in the new facility Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. The late Mrs. Lorraine Gillespie, Dizzy's wife, said, “I know that my husband would be proud and honored that many musicians will further their careers and the awareness of jazz as an art form in a place that bears his name."
