Keeping jazz alive on campus

from ARN Stories · host Annenberg Radio Stories

But at the USC Thornton School of Music, jazz is anything but background noise. It’s a high-stakes conversation between humans. Inside the Carson Soundstage, the next generation of musicians is fighting to keep the 'real deal' alive.
