So incredibly proud of these students! JHYO showed up in NYC at Essentially Ellington and represented Houston to the fullest, bringing that TEXAS HEAT! 🔥
Poised, confident, and full of joy, they felt the music, and it showed in every note.
The friendships and this experience will last a lifetime and that’s what truly matters. Thank you @jazzdotorg for this amazing program and to our mentor Chris Crenshaw @chrittycren .
Shoutout to our amazing directors, David & James—you rock!!
And to our families that traveled to support us, thank you for the love and encouragement. It means everything.
Houston showed up, and we are TEXAS proud!🤠

JALC Gala 2026 ✨🎶 Rhythms that move the world, and a rare date night for us, wherever the calendar (and city) allows 🖤🥂

@jazzdotorg called and here is our answer! #jazzcallforfreedom 🎼: America The Beautiful arranged by Wynton Marsalis performed by the Jazz Houston Youth Orchestra

Recording in Wire Road studios didn’t just do the job of producing audition clips, but it taught so many practical musicianship lessons along the way.

The JHYO is honored to have been selected out of thousands of applicants to travel to New York and compete in the festival at the Jazz at Lincoln Center at the end of April. We are 38% to reaching our goal to bring Houston’s sound to the national stage! Every contribution—large or small—puts our students one step closer to the bandstand!

Happy Resurrection Sunday! ✝️🙏🏾💜

We’re still on a high from the Texas Regional Essentially Ellington! One of the highlights was having the amazing Sean Jones as our guest artist! Whether playing or speaking, he’s always teaching something important. Here he is describing to the students how Jazz embodies Democracy and how we can lean from it!

Nine years ago, this amazing, beautiful woman agreed to become my wife. She’s the most incredible partner, mother to our children and woman of god I could ever hope for, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. Happy Anniversary my love!
