The HBO series Treme, and YouTube can go a long way to getting the music
before the masses.
Also, our band plays a set for the local university Music History class each
semester when the get to the jazz period.
Our leader discusses the history of each tune, and even
a demo of each instrument & it's various sounds.
We also play for a couple high school summer band clinics.
If you want to play on radio, try your local NPR station and
their "local" programming.
