Keith Pawlak has distinguished himself as a curator, teacher, and scholar of American music. He currently serves as the head of the School of Music archives at The University of Arizona and teaches Jazz History and Jazz Arranging.

Much of Keith’s time is devoted towards preserving and perpetuating the great music produced by American recording artists of the 20th century. He has produced numerous oral histories on the musicians of Hollywood (George Roberts, Uan Rasey, Bob Bain, etc.) and is involved in reconstructing much of the lost music from Hollywood’s Golden Era.
