Passing on education
I am TOTALLY diggin’ the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (located in New Orleans, Louisiana – woot!) for two reasons. #1: Well, cmon. Monk was bad ass. And #2: The institute is responsible for passing on jazz education from jazz masters to the next generation of gifted musicians much in the style Monk had done in the 50′s and 60′s. And the best part? Its college level AND tuition free.
I firmly believe education should be completely tuition free everywhere and to think that there’s an institution of THIS caliber that can do it successfully is out-fucking-standing. Naish.
