ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ANTHONY DIAMOND “STANFORD ENTREPRENEUR finds the cool
CLEANIN ENERGYJAZZ, STARTUP.” The Mercury News, September 4, 2017
“Maybe not even music, more importantly jazz. It’s not just the startup world but it’s to engineering. It’s the importance of hear- ing all the different parts and how they interplay with one anoth- er. It helps to inform the way I think about systems. Looking at all the different interactions, seeing if you can get to the point where all the pieces transcend, develop emergent properties that are beyond the capabilities of any of the individuals. That’s like the supreme moment in a jazz collective or a democracy.” — Anthony Diamond, Axiom Energy, CTO and Co-Founder, and SJW Alumnus

I hope to spend my life being a professional jazz player and being at this camp I have the tools “ stanfordjazz.org 2016 -17 Annual Report 7 I need to succeed.” — SJW Student, 18 years old JAZZ IMMERSION PROGRAMS Among our most beloved annual traditions is the Charlie Parker Memorial Jam. Faculty and students come together to celebrate Bird’s life and music, sending a wave of sound from the Braun Music Center courtyard into the cosmos. After the senior musician present — this year it was George Cables — counts off “Now’s The Time”, a massive rhythm section of pianists, bassists, and drummers plays through the head of the tune twice. Everyone then joins in for 24 bars of simultaneous soloing, followed by two more rounds through the head — all the while thinking about Charlie Parker. Towards the end, everyone plays any un- shared musical ideas from the previous week. Without fail, this cacophonous tribute gives students and faculty alike the chance to make a joyful sound while honoring a jazz legend.
“This camp has given me more to do than most of the year.” — SJW Student, 15 years old

Curricula aligned with state and federal standards for OUR AFTER-SCHOOL arts education, and each semester ended in a free public performance. All students were PROGRAMS required to participate in their school music programs as a condition of SJW enrollment, which created a lot of good will: schools did not see their best talent siphoned off by our programs, and our students brought SJW’s best practices back to their schools.
