As America's very first Jazz Studies program (est. 1946) - and consistently one of the world's finest music schools - the University of North Texas has amassed a treasure trove of jazz history over the decades. The UNT Music Library's Jazz Syndicate aims to make this material freely available to everybody. Forming a centralized online hub, the archive will connect scholars, musicians, and enthusiasts nationwide to an extensive array of media - from audio, film and video recordings to scores, still images, and texts.
You'll find the Tim Owens Jazz & Broadcast Collection (including the Peabody Award-winning "Jazz Profiles" series), radio programs by Voice of America DJ Willis Conover, UNT college archives, and chart libraries from musicians like Maynard Ferguson - just to name a few.
To help The Jazz Syndicate digitize and build this profoundly important resource, we created this lively T-shirt - and we're giving 100% of the profits from its sales directly to the nonprofit UNT Music Library. Made of soft cotton-poly jersey. Imported. Royal Heather. Sizes: M-3XL.
