OVERVIEWThe Institute’s impact upon the University will reach far beyond the Jazz Studies Degree Program in the Music Department. It is conceived to be an extremely meaningful element of campus life. Jazz/Black Music and its related studies have always provided a profound influence upon individuals in all walks of life, from those whose career pursuits span everything from the Arts and Humanities to Science and Technology. Exposure to the creative process through residency activities, and its exposition in performance, provides highly relevant and effective information for students in all disciplines. For those students who are pursuing Jazz and music studies, the exposure to the Jazz legacy through both historical materials and living will enormously enhance their educational endeavors.
