“I appreciate what Lance Boyd, Tom Cook, and the students at the U of M as well as others in the Missoula community have done to foster jazz over the last many years. It’s an excellent program and an outstanding festival. I’m pleased to have this opportunity of a long-term relationship with The University of Montana.”

- Buddy DeFranco
