it seems that it was The New School not NYU and there was no graduation. It 
appears to me that it wasn't much of a JAZZ program. I do like his early 
musical story, I bet it is not that different than how a lot of us came to 
love the harmonica.

Popper and drummer Brendan Hill first hooked up in 1983; they were joined by 
guitarist Chan Kinchla in 1986, and bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1987.

Out of their shared fascination with the Blues Brothers was born a worthy 
name by which to call themselves--the Blues Band. Following graduation, all 
of the bandmates, (except Kinchla, who attended N.Y.U.) enrolled in the jazz 
program at New York's New School for Social Research. The New School was 
just what Popper needed to get their act together: not only did they have 
the use of free rehearsal space, but the curriculum taught them how to get 
gigs. They learned a little too well--before long, they had lined up so many 
gigs that there wasn't any time left for school, so they all dropped out of 
the program.
