I think lorelie2702 meant to say SusanTM. I agree you should seek them out by pm if neither responds within the thread.

nonmusicmusicmom, congrats and welcome. I love your screen name, just kind of rolls off the tongue.

I’m a bit confused. You say he wants to transition to jazz, but did he apply in a jazz concentration or a BM performance path at each of these schools?

I’m not much help on either brass or jazz, but will point you to a few jazz knowledgeable posters. There’s a few with acceptances, and a number of posters with students at some, but not all of the schools. I can also pull prior threads, but not all will be jazz specific.

There are some search tips here http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/892168-search-tips-other-insights.html to get you started, and this jazz specific thread in the event you haven’t already seen it: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/154774-best-university-jazz-programs.html?highlight=university
