Dave Brubeck is without a doubt the most synonymous name in the jazz world. Built to conserve Brubeck's legacy and lifelong dedication to music, The University of the Pacific has truly outdone itself. The school boasts several fine academic achievements, including the McGeorge School of Law, but the Brubeck Institute is a shining star amongst several stars in the schools history. Teaching tomorrows jazz musicians is truly one of the crowning moments and though there will never be another Dave Brubeck, maybe just maybe we might hit a Jackpot.
