Description	The Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program (EE) is a free program that aims to elevate musicianship, broaden perspectives and inspire performance. Each year, students across the globe are introduced to the music of such seminal big band composers as Duke Ellington, Benny Carter, Mary Lou Williams and Count Basie. Students and bands at any level will experience the thrill of playing some of the most joyful American music ever written. Members receive a resource package with six new big band transcriptions, a reference CD/DVD, teaching resources, quarterly newsletters, and are eligible to participate in non-competitive regional festivals. All EE bands are also invited and encouraged to submit a recording for the annual Competition & Festival each May. Fifteen finalist bands and one winning community ensemble from across North America travel to New York City to spend three days immersed in workshops, jam sessions, open rehearsals and performances at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s home, Frederick P. Rose Hall. The three top placing bands perform with Wynton Marsalis as a guest soloist. EE is open to high school bands.
