In 2003, a digital video/audio documentary was produced about the MSU Jazz Studies Program. Entitled, Inside Jazz: Everybody’s Welcome, it takes the viewer inside a world of jazz performances, lessons and master classes, showing how the jazz tradition is passed from one generation to the next. It features MSU students and faculty, guest artists, and the acclaimed trumpet virtuoso Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. The documentary won third place in the East Lansing Film Festival, and a Gold Award in the Aurora Awards, an international film and video competition. The documentary is a production of the Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media in association with WKAR-TV and the MSU Jazz Studies Program. It aired on WKAR TV on December 14, 2004. It will air soon in the Detroit area, and possibly nationwide.  Click here to listen to 90.5 WKAR News Clip.
