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: • Dave Brubeck Ensemble, in the spirit of integrating arts, coached by Ulysses Owens Jr. • Jelly Roll Morton Ensemble, in the spirit of interpreting the original meanings of jazz, coached by Doug Wamble • Dizzy Gillespie Ensemble, in the spirit of innovation, dance, Afro-Latin music, humor, and teaching, coached by Elio Villafranca • Max Roach Ensemble, in the spirit of Civil Rights experimentation and understanding of the African Diaspora, coached by Roxy Coss • Mary Lou Williams Ensemble, in the spirit of stride piano, arranging, and intellectual discourse on music techniques and meaning, coached by Bruce Williams • Duke Ellington Ensemble (Artist Diploma Ensemble), in the spirit of being ambassadors to the world, coached by Ben Wolfe Please make certain that all electronic devices are turned off during the performance. The taking of photographs and the use of recording equipment are not permitted in this auditorium. Meet Jonathan Finlayson Born in Berkeley, California, Jonathan Finlayson began playing the trumpet at age 10 in the Oakland public school system. Bay Area legend Robert Porter, a veteran trumpeter from the bebop era, took Finlayson under his wing; Finlayson was often seen accompanying Porter on his gigs about town and sitting in on the popular Sunday night jam sessions at the Bird Cage club in Oakland. Finlayson subsequently attended the New School for jazz and contemporary music, where he studied with Eddie Henderson, Jimmy Owens, and Cecil Bridgewater. Finlayson is a disciple of the saxophonist/composer/conceptualist Steve Coleman, having joined his band Five Elements in 2000 at age 18. Widely admired for his ability to tackle cutting-edge musical concepts with aplomb, Finlayson has performed and recorded in groups led by Steve Lehman, Mary Halvorson, Craig Taborn, and Henry Threadgill, and he has played alongside notables such as Von Freeman, Jason Moran, Dafnis Prieto, and Vijay Iyer. Finlayson’s latest CD, 3 Times Round, was released in 2018 on the Pi Recordings label.
