In New York City the 44 students in Juilliard Jazz present more than 50 performances annually on-and off campus in diverse venues including Juilliard's Paul Recital Hall and Peter Jay Sharp Theater, Alice Tully Hall, the Zinc Bar, Blue Note, and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. This season marks a focus on two areas. One focus is on trumpet innovators of the post-bop era; Booker Little, Lee Morgan, and Miles Davis. The second is on two extraordinary jazz musicians who were both admired educators and trailblazers in their own right, pianist Mary Lou Williams and vocalist Betty Carter. Finally, Juilliard Jazz will host the Tom Jobim Youth Orchestra form São Paolo, Brazil, and students from the Torino Conservatory in Italy.
