A lone horn's wail echoes in the hallway of the music building at the University of North Texas as a music student shuffles down the hall carrying her instrument.
The student may not know it, but she's one step closer to a jazz music legend.
A moving van delivered the 400-piece Maynard Ferguson library to the UNT campus last week.
The library, provided by a consortium of donors, spans Ferguson's career from the mid-1950s to his death in 2006.
“This is important music that we wouldn't be able to get otherwise; the actual music is not freely available," said Dr. John Murphy, interim chairman of jazz studies at UNT. “Access is big. When you get an entire book of a major artist, it is an important resource."
