Before the new jazz program, the story was that jazz was a bedraggled stepchild of the classical department at Northwestern. Now, they really seem to have put together an actual stellar jazz department, so I believe they are serious about rededicating to music at Northwestern.

After I posted this I noticed that Allmusic described jazz as a “poor…cousin”! That’s so funny. Having jazz musicians for kids, we have been hearing the same phraseology spoken about the music they love!
