By Lazaro Vega, 1989
Interview with Lazaro Vega prior to a Modern Jazz Quartet performance at Hope College, Holland, Michigan in September of 1989. Broadcast at the time on Blue Lake Public Radio; portions appeared in an advance article published by the Grand Rapids Press. Jackson was on the phone from Teaneck, N.J.
Lazaro Vega: Did you go to Michigan State?
Milt Jackson: No, no, I didn't go. I had class there. They let me go because they wanted me to play in the band. They had a jazz band out there. I never actually attended college.
