Abstract
- San Francisco State College was uniquely situated adjacent to a vibrant African-American jazz community in the post-World War II years to expand music curriculum to serve musicians professionally matured during the war effort to retrain to be teachers on the G.I. Bill. This article examines the cooperative effort of the College's instructors and veterans to establish the first known college-sanctioned jazz course under an umbrella organization of the campus's Music Federation.
