About Jazz Ensembles at Juilliard

Each of Juilliard Jazz’s small ensembles is named after a jazz legend. This does not mean the named ensemble will solely perform the works of that artist, but invoking these names reminds us, and our audience, of our music’s great history and its interconnectedness. In addition, ensemble coaches will incorporate important aspects of each artist’s work into their ensemble teaching throughout the year.

The named ensembles and their coaches are: • The Dave Brubeck Ensemble, in the spirit of integrating arts, coached by Ulysses Owens Jr. • The Jelly Roll Morton Ensemble, in the spirit of interpreting the original meanings of jazz, coached by Doug Wamble. • The Dizzy Gillespie Ensemble, in the spirit of innovation, dance, Afro-Latin music, humor, and teaching, coached by Elio Villafranca. • The Max Roach Ensemble, in the spirit of Civil Rights experimentation and understanding of the African Diaspora, coached by Ulysses Owens Jr. • The Mary Lou Williams Ensemble, in the spirit of stride piano, arranging, and intellectual discourse on music techniques and meaning, coached by Bruce Williams. • The Ensemble (Artist Diploma Ensemble), in the spirit of being ambassadors to the world, coached by Ben Wolfe. Meet Doug Wamble

As a child of Memphis, Doug Wamble has always been surrounded by a vast musical and cultural landscape. From listening to his mother play piano in their Baptist church to his grandfather singing cowboy songs, murder ballads, and old-time gospel favorites while strumming a guitar, Wamble has been immersed in music for his entire life. After completing two music degrees, he moved to New York to seek a career as a guitarist and composer. He appeared on bandstands and recordings with such artists as , Norah Jones, Steven Bernstein, Courtney Love, Madeleine Peyroux, and , then was signed to ’ label, /Rounder Records, which released his albums Country Libations and Bluestate. His self-titled album on Koch/ E1 Records followed, then came another singer/songwriter album on his own Halcyonic Records imprint, Fast as Years, Slow as Days. In 2014 his first all-instrumental recording, Rednecktelectual, featured his original compositions all performed on a single guitar, using nontraditional recording techniques and treating the resophonic guitar like a bass, a drum, and a piano simultaneously. Other releases include For Anew and an acoustic jazz record called The Traveler, a song cycle commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. His history with Marsalis led to musical contributions on the soundtracks of several Ken Burns documentaries, including Prohibition, Unforgivable Blackness, and The Central Park Five.
