Black Music Matters.

At my school, black music mattered to the jazz police if it dated from roughly 1942 to about 1967. From there, they jumped to ECM, which I've never really explored, but which appears to be primarily white (not that that is a criticism).

The early 80s were a weird time for jazz education. A lot of the legends were still alive and even working; the Marsalis rat pack was getting started; jazz still had a shred of cultural relevance; and the faculty were bitter that they were not as famous as Miles.
