Maynard had no association with the school, although, God knows, he recruited dozens of young musicians from the program, as did Woody Herman and other big bands.

Greg's brother, Matt, a bassist, also went to North Texas and toured with Maynard and David Lee Roth.

Both are very active studio musicians today.

Any other questions? I worked for the Jazz Studies Program there for 5 years. :)
