By Mary Rezac, WORLD-HERALD bureau

LINCOLN — A large collection of jazz music will be added to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln music library.
Thousands of CDs, LPs and DVDs of jazz and rock music were donated by the Berman Music Foundation, the university announced Monday. The collection was created by Lincoln musician Byron L. “Butch” Berman over his lifetime and is part of the Berman Music Foundation, which he established in 1995, according to a UNL press release.
Berman died in 2008 at the age of 58 of brain cancer.
The donation comes at an ideal time for the School of Music, which recently added two new advanced degrees in jazz studies.
