NEW YORK (AP)—A new sponsor has emerged to revive New York City’s flagship jazz festival for next summer and help support some of the country’s largest and oldest jazz events, organizers said Tuesday.

This year the curtain fell on the JVC Jazz Festival New York after the Japanese electronics company said it would not sponsor any 2009 jazz events.

But jazz impresario George Wein, who arranged the original JVC sponsorship deal in 1984, said plans are now under way to produce a major jazz festival at Carnegie Hall and other venues during the last two weeks of June 2010 thanks to a new sponsorship deal with Care Fusion Corp., a medical technology company.

Wein said CareFusion would also sponsor this year’s Aug. 7-9 jazz festival in Newport, R. I., which will feature Tony Bennett, Branford Marsalis, Dave Brubeck and Etta James, among others.
