Lula's owner, David Booker, a carpenter by trade, has renovated Lula's home literally with his own hands over the last four years. Lula's elegant and imaginative decor speaks to Booker's love for jazz music and its legacy. One of his aims in creating Lula's is to disseminate jazz music at the neighborhood level.

Collaborating with Lula's efforts are the owners of Diamond Bridge Music, former Prince guitarist Levi Seacer, Jalonda Jackson and Lydia Marie Moses, who bring the local talent to Lula's stage six nights a week. In keeping with Lula's interest in nurturing up-and-coming jazz musicians, Diamond Bridge has discovered a new teenage jazz quintet, assembled especially for Lula's. Diamond Bridge has plans to produce two CDs in the coming year using these talented young jazz musicians, who now call themselves the Bridge, meaning a bridge for youth to the jazz experience.
