Jazz Celebration 2016

Celebrating the inaugural class of the Jacobs School of Music Jazz Alumni Hall of Fame.

Jazz Celebration 2016 will be a celebration of the inaugural class of the Jacobs School of Music Jazz Alumni Hall of Fame: Jamey Aebersold, Buddy Baker, David Baker, Jerry Coker, Roger Pemberton, Whit Sidener, and Dominic Spera.

These seven alumni have shaped the history of jazz education in the United States and their contributions to music education have been implemented worldwide.

Individually, they are pioneering authors, a leading publisher, prolific composer/arrangers, outstanding performers, and influential jazz educators and arts advocates.

They have established and led some of the country’s most vibrant jazz studies programs, and their students have gone on to be Grammy Award-winning performers and award-winning composers, arrangers, authors, and educators who continue to spread the gospel of jazz.

The collective impact of their work has reached many thousands of musicians around the world and it establishes the historical importance of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music as a significant fountainhead for jazz education.

Jazz Celebration 2016 will feature the music of these seven extraordinary individuals.
