Biographical/Historical Note The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Caril Jennings. "I'll tell you why I did it. It's because for years I was the department secretary and when students would take Introduction to Jazz class they would have to attend three or four performances during the quarter. Our department would do one jazz concert and then they had to go out in the world and see jazz concerts. Well, there wasn't any other venue in Ogden that was doing jazz unless you went to a bar. In those days besides drinking, you could smoke in a bar, so there was a whole element of students in our department who couldn't attend a jazz venue like that. Either they were underage, or they didn't want to be in association with alcohol and cigarette smoking. Concerts in Salt Lake could be 25 to 40 bucks. For a student, that was terrible. So, the second quarter I was a marketing director, we were being urged across campus to do diversity and community outreach. I thought a jazz program on campus would be a great step in both of those directions. I was really right. It didn't take very long at all for that program to be popular. It used to be called Jazz in the Sky Room."
