Juilliard Jazz gets ready for the holiday season with a new CD release, Juilliard Jazz 2009 Holiday: Joy To The World, featuring Juilliard Jazz students performing in jazz versions of holiday favorites, including “Silent Night," “Oh Christmas Tree," “Deck the Halls," and many others. The songs were arranged by the students. Proceeds from the CD sales go towards the Juilliard Jazz Program.

Juilliard Jazz students featured on the CD are: Patrick Cornelius, Will Reardon Anderson, and Peter Reardon Anderson (on saxophones); Randall Haywood, Mike Cottone, and Matt Jodrell (on trumpets); Melissa Jean and Robert Edwards (on trombones); Ken Oshodi, Tom Guarna, and Miles Okazaki (on guitars); Josh Richman and Kris Bowers (on piano); Phil Kuehn (on bass); and Aaron Kimmel (on drums).

To purchase the new CD, reasonably priced at $15 and a great stocking stuffer, call (212) 799-5000, ext. 7380 or e-mail [email protected].

One of Juilliard's newest programs, Juilliard Jazz teaches at bachelor through master and artist diploma levels, with its most advanced artist diploma program a collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, founded in 2001. Its alumni already have made their mark on jazz culture in NYC and beyond. Recent graduates include James Burton, Etienne Charles; Aaron Diehl and Marion Felder; and Jon Irabagon, Lage Lund, and Ben Williams (all Thelonious Monk Competition winners), among others.
