Jazzman Victor Lin was quoted in a USA Today article about why the year 1959 was so important to jazz music. Commenting on the progression of jazz up to that point, Lin says:
“1959 didn’t just happen — jazz had been evolving all the way up through that point, and everything was headed that way,” says Victor Lin, a musician and jazz educator at Columbia University in New York and the Stanford Jazz Workshop in California.
Lin will also be presenting a seminar on 1959 at the Stanford Jazz Festival on July 29 (stanfordjazz.org).
