YJE History

The Yale Jazz Ensemble traces its official roots to the 1970s, even though Eli's Chosen 7 and other jazz combos operated at Yale before then. We have posted data for the YJE starting in 1965, and hope to continue loading data working back from the present.

But don't wait for us. Please send us information or photos that will fill out the history of your years in the Yale Jazz Ensemble. If you were a Yale jazzer before the advent of our official ensemble, please let us know so that we can track jazz at Yale even outside of the YJE.
