Welcome to the website of the IASJ, the International Association of Schools of Jazz! The IASJ, established in 1989, is the only existing world wide network of schools of jazz. Students, teachers and representatives are connected through the IASJ. During the Annual IASJ Jazz Meeting which takes place in a different country every year, they perform, teach and network. The future of jazz is linked with jazz education and ...the IASJ is the chain! |

Teaching jazz was completely foreign to me during my early musical life. Musicians from my era, basically the 1960's, for the most part did not go to school for jazz although there were some places such as Berklee, University of Miami, North Texas and others. But in the New York area there were no schools nor were there any teachers of jazz around, except for Lennie Tristano with whom I took some lessons with. As is said, I learned "from the street", by trial and error, observation and a lot of luck. In fact the idea of teaching jazz was an anathema to me and many musicians of that period. |
