Anyway, that program at U T is full of good people as well as wonderful material for jazz fans (Russell, Bird, Tegaraden collections et al) and history buffs in general (with a deliberate bias towards modern American history, which is quite cool!) Good move C T-- I think you'll be happy with Austin in general, though from a JAZZ perspective it's pitiful.
