In response to Ed Lacy's post, I agree that flaming band dir's isn't so
helpful to students, but jazz surely is more a musical language than an
instrumentation (classical pieces transcribed remain classical, albeit in
a slightly altered format). I regret being denied the opportunity to
experience jazz in the same way and at the same stage as my peers in high
school; playing along to Aebersold can't equal the social experience of
playing with friends in a live group. Jazz should be made open/available to
all.
