    The Julliard Jazz Artist Diploma Ensemble stopped by WBGO studios today for  another intimate performance celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM).  The band is directed by Carl Allen (drums), Rodney Jones (guitar) and Kenny Barron (piano). The band is, to quote Carl Allen, "the crème de la crème" of Julliard Jazz and features: [left to right] John Chin (piano), Matthew Jordell (trumpet, flugelhorn), Yasushi Nakamura (bass), Patrick Cornelius (alto sax), and Luca Santaniello (drums).

    Luca Santaniello has performed with Lee Konitz, Roy Hargrove, Joe Lovano, Joe Locke, Billy Harper and Ron Carter. Jordell and Chin have also accompanied Ron Carter (as of last night!) and all three musicians are booked to accompany Benny Golson on May 16. Also, you may recognize Patrick Cornelius from his appearance on WBGO's  The Checkout this past March. Keep and eye and an ear out for these players, on the New York scene and beyond. In the meantime, hear today's performance below:
