Ricky,

In terms of educating the public about jazz,
I've just recorded an interview with Bob Blumenthal, author of the new
book: "Jazz - An Introduction to the History and Legends Behind America’s
Music" and I can recommend it for anyone at any level or background. Not
a whole plan, but a good start.
