Studies on jazz learning typically focus on one of two methods: institutional education or the kinds of informal mentoring relationships long associated with the tradition. Ken Prouty argues that this distinction works against a common identity for audiences and communities. Rather, what happens within the institution impacts--and is impacted by--events and practices outside institutional contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile formal institutions are well-defined in educational and civic contexts, informal institutions have profoundly influenced the development of jazz and its discourses. Drawing on historical case studies, Prouty details significant moments in jazz history. He examines the ways that early method books capitalized on a new commercial market, commandeering public expertise about the music. Chapters also discuss critic Paul Eduard Miller and his attempts to develop a jazz canon, as well as the disconnect between the spotlighted \"great men\" and the everyday realities of artists. Tackling race in jazz education, Prouty explores the intersections between identity and assessment; bandleaders Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson; public school segregation; Jazz at Lincoln Center; and more. He further examines jazz's \"public pedagogy,\" and the sometimes-difficult relationships between \"jazz people\" and the general public. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003e Learning Jazz \u003c\/i\u003eposits that there is room for both institutional and noninstitutional forces in the educational realm of jazz.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKen Prouty\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of musicology and jazz studies at Michigan State University, where he teaches courses in jazz history, popular music, and American music.
