2 About Jazz Ensembles at Juilliard

Beginning this season Juilliard Jazz has named each of our small ensembles 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 Helen Sung • 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 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
