If you were to paint a picture of jazz history some of its greats would leap off the canvas, legends like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck. But in today's music world the true legends are much harder to come by. Some would say it's because the traditions of teaching broke down somewhere along the way. In jazz's golden age the legends of the time played a critical role in forming the future greats. It can be seen in the way Louis Armstrong passed his knowledge to Roy Eldridge who later passed it to Dizzy Gillespie.

At Stockton's University of the Pacific the traditions of old are coming back to life with the help of former student and jazz legend Dave Brubeck. The Brubeck Institute was formed at UOP in 2000 with a mission of developing artists and audiences for the future. To accomplish their mission they've taken a "best of both worlds" approach to learning, combining the best of what the university has to offer with the teachings of current jazz masters.

Recently, five of the most promising jazz students were chosen from around the country to study at the institute and form its first quintet. We talked with the group's trumpet player Anthony Coleman, a Sacramento native who's learning his role in keeping the art of jazz alive.
