Obama's Music

An interesting article about what music President-elect Obama might bring to the White House. Howard Reich suggests that Barack Obama might set a positive tone for the arts and jazz in particular were he to bring a jazz event to the White House following his inauguration. The author makes mention of a famous jazz event during Carter's presidency, and a similar event during Clinton's tenure. Obama's Chicago connection makes the jazz tie-in obvious, but a similar event in support of choral singing would also be most welcome by many.
