<p>I don’t know about acting, but the University of North Texas (UNT) has a reallyyyyyyy good jazz program. And they have the alumni to prove it (Norah Jones, Bob Belden, Bob Dorough, Jimmy Guiffre, Tom Malone, among many more). I always thought it was one of the best in the country (one of those niche things in a school that people don’t hear about often unless they are active in the field).</p>
