"As the director of jazz studies at NYU Steinhardt I oversee a thriving jazz studies program in New York City. I am constantly surrounded by students and artist/faculty that invariably end up holding court in my office to discuss their musical experiences. Anyone who has visited my Lafayette Street office would compare the musician traffic to that of Grand Central Station. With the constant flow of musicians moving in an out, my days are filled with conversations that range from casual to profound. The NYU Steinhardt Jazz Series at Barnes and Noble developed as an outgrowth of my daily interaction with musicians. The series has developed into an open exchange of knowledge for anyone interested in understanding the musician's process and the human side of being a jazz artist. With the start of the series last fall, audiences have been thrilled to interact with legendary jazz artists up close and personal." -- David Schroeder, host.
