The Mellon Foundation Award

Robert O’Meally’s Jazz Study Group has received a major contribution from the Mellon Foundation, supporting its work to broaden jazz scholarship and strengthen its cultural infrastructure. 

“Jazz has always been about connection — between disciplines, between generations, between communities […] With the Jazz Generations Initiative, co-led by composer Courtney Bryan and myself in partnership with the Mellon Foundation, we are creating a bridge between New York and New Orleans — a living network where artists and scholars can listen, learn, and carry forward the transformative stories and sounds of this music.”
