And now for something different:
Fall 1983 Southern University A & M Baton Rouge, LA. Off the Mighty Mississippi river, the dorm was William James Hall. The room was 219. Floating out for this room was an abundance of jazz, day and night. Depending on what time of day it was and who was manning the cassette player would decide what tunes you could here. Entering the room was class time. Even if it was not an official class, there were lessons to be learned. Influenced by Detroit's legendary WJZZ, the instructors would pass around knowledge. From funky to smooth, from traditional to vocalese, it was played in 219. Here is a tribute to those instructors that lived in 219 William James and the knowledge that they pass to us.
