HISTORY OF

UNT JAZZ

This academic year, the UNT Jazz Studies

program celebrates its 75th anniversary as a

leader in jazz education. While jazz had been

played before at this and other colleges, the

Dance Band degree at North Texas State Teachers

College was the first bachelor’s degree of its

kind to be offered in the United States. Because

the degree focused on popular American music

at a time when higher education in music dealt

primarily with the European art music tradition, it

quickly attracted national attention. The flagship

ensemble, the Two O’Clock Lab Band, later

renamed the One O’Clock Lab Band, showed

through its performances at competitions and

on tours and recordings that our students were

playing and arranging on a professional level.

This university became known as a place where

aspiring jazz musicians could develop their

talents with the help of a dedicated faculty and

a steady stream of guest artists; meet peers who

would challenge and inspire them; and prepare

to launch their careers with a comprehensive

skill set.

Gene Hall, Leon Breeden, and Neil Slater, the first

three directors of the program, also directed the

One O’Clock Lab Band, our flagship ensemble.

Its international reputation for excellence was

earned through the hard work of generations of

students who were coached to a professional

standard; a yearly recording tradition that began

in 1967 and has resulted in seven Grammy

nominations; and a busy schedule of national

and international tours.

By 2008, when Neil Slater’s tenure ended, the

program had firmly established its reputation for

excellence. The Two O’Clock Lab Band directed

by Jim Riggs, the UNT Jazz Singers directed by

Paris Rutherford, the small group program and

the Zebras ensemble directed by Dan Haerle, and

the guitar ensembles coached by Fred Hamilton

had established traditions of their own. The

addition of a master’s degree improved our ability

to graduate well-prepared educators.

Under the leadership of John Murphy from 2008

to 2019 and Rob Parton since then, the program

has maintained its standards of excellence while

adapting to a changing music profession. The faculty

have worked steadily to revise the curriculum. Our

doctoral degree has produced successful college

educators. We’ve added options in jazz strings and

commercial music. Most recently, the curriculum

has been revised to include a certificate in African

American Studies and to bring more of our students’

work in core music classes into the jazz idiom.

The student-led Jazz and Gender Equity Initiative

embodies our dedication to diversity and inclusion.

Through all of these changes in leadership, faculty,

and curriculum, one element has remained constant:

our focus on students and their musical and

professional growth. Our alumni community extends

to every corner of the music profession. Alumni help

our recent graduates establish themselves in new

cities; they support the program as donors; and by

their varied demonstrations of musical excellence

they show our students that there is no limit to what

they can achieve with a degree from UNT.
