Culver City is giving the land, Annenberg is giving $2m, and Frank Gehry is giving a commitment to design the new home of The Jazz Bakery.

Off-Ramp host John Rabe talks with The Jazz Bakery's founder, Ruth Price, about three strokes of great fortune putting Culver City on track to having a new Jazz Bakery in a couple years: a gift of land from the city - right next to the Kirk Douglas Theatre - plus a $2-million Annenberg grant, and a commitment from celebrity architect Frank Gehry to design the place.
