Professor Jeff Boehm is spending his summer working on "Music on the Ohio," a mini-documentary about the music—especially jazz—of the Ohio River riverboats and the Delta Queen in particular. Directed at students in late elementary school and older, the film will include information about the role of the riverboats in spreading jazz throughout the United States; Ohio’s historical role within the context of the riverboat-travel era; and examples of the musicians who entertained the travelers.
