“Teaching has always been a core element of my artistry. Since Juilliard, I’ve been so lucky to be able to tie together my continued studies, community engagement, and ongoing performing, and I look forward to what’s to come!”
— Postcards From Juilliard Alums
“At this point, Ormont greeted two saxophonists from the Funky Dawgz Brass Band, Tommy Weeks and Colin Walters. They joined Pigeons for another Perspective tune, “Whirled,” and unleashed a funky, NOLA style jam. This marked the first time that this song was played live with horns.”
“Iconic Italian fashion house Fendi has teamed up with another legend for its latest installment of the Amina Mundi musical series: New York City’s own Juilliard School.
For its new campaign, unveiled on January 12, Fendi has tapped six talented young jazz musicians currently studying at the school for the performance, which marked the first time the group had gathered since COVID-19-related shutdowns. All students selected study under the award-winning trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who leads the Jazz program at Juilliard. ”
“The music from this album definitely highlights the growth we have made as a band, individuals, and musicians over the last 10 years. We each have different musical tastes and that made the recording process exciting as we worked through various melodic and harmonic ideas”
