For a long time, I think Wayne's (and to a lesser extent Western's) jazz program was the only game worth playing in the state of Michigan. Lately however, Rodney Whitaker and company have been building a mighty fine program at Michigan State. Heard their big band at the jazz fest this year and they were really, really good. Some new healthy competition can only be good for the local scene...at least in terms of the caliber of music being played. Wayne's A bands still sounds great too under the leadership of Chris Collins.
