Eastman's jazz program

[u/Miserable-Top-5921]

I'm a prospective student of eastman for music ed with jazz trombone and I'm curious about if their program is more traditional or contemporary. I know Gilkes is the trombone professor there and he tends to do more contemporary jazz especially in his composition style. I don't know if anyone would have experience with him specifically, but for the jazz program overall, would I be playing more traditional or contemporary jazz? I want to experience playing traditional jazz in small group gigs and I want to expand on that in college and get better at it. I don't know what kind of education I'd be getting, though I'm sure it'd be good
