<p>Good news for potential jazz studies majors. James Madison University in Virginia will be adding a jazz studies major beginning in Fall 2012. Nothing is on the website yet, but their jazz big band performed at my sons high school last week, and they announced that they are adding a jazz studies major. They were doing a recruiting tour and went to a number of high schools in the state. Other S who is a jazz studies major at IU Jacobs also attended the concert and thought the big band was quite good. JMU added a well-regarded full-time jazz piano professor last year, so were looking to see what other changes or additions might be in the offing.</p>
