Senior Research Associate; HISAM Director 2005-2019

Jeffrey Taylor (Ph.D., Michigan) has been a member of the Conservatory faculty since 1993. He specializes in jazz and other areas of music in the United States, though he also teaches general courses in Western music history and musicology and has regularly led sections of the Conservatory's introductory Core course (he is also a co-author of that course's textbook).

His scholarly work has focused primarily on pre-1940s jazz, though his interests include many aspects of current trends in jazz and popular music scholarship and performance, particularly those related to race, gender, class, sexuality and spirituality. He has been on the editorial boards of Black Music Research Journal and The Journal of the Society for American Music. His writing has appeared in Musical Quarterly, Black Music Research Journal, American Music, American Music Review, and other publications. His volume in the MUSA (Music of the United States) series, Earl "Fatha" Hines: Collected Piano Solos, 1928-41, won the Claude Palisca Award from the American Musicological Society in 2007. He contributed an essay on Chicago women pianists in the collection Big Ears: Listening for Gender in Jazz Studies, co-edited by Sherrie Tucker and Nichole T. Rustin (Duke). He contributed several entries for the second edition of the New Grove Dictionary of American Music and Musicians (Oxford). He is completing a book titled Earl Hines and Chicago Jazz. He also continues research on jazz in Brooklyn and saxophonist Pharoah Sanders.

Whitney George

Whitney George

Whitney George

Graduate Assistant

Whitney George's music traverses the affective terrain between tragedy and ecstasy, fragility and strength, bringing together romantically delicate intimacy and the spectacular darkness of the macabre. Her operas, staged multimedia works, and chamber music have had both international and domestic premieres. Most recently, George was commissioned by dell'Arte Opera to write Princess Maleine, an adaptation of a Grimms fairytale. She received the 2017 Elebash Award for her orchestration of Miriam Gideon's opera Fortunato, which premiered under George's baton in May 2019. George is the artistic director and conductor of The Curiosity Cabinet, a chamber orchestra formed in 2009. She holds an undergraduate degree from the California Institute of the Arts and a master's degree from Brooklyn College, and she is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center. In addition to her composing and conducting, George teaches at the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, works at the Hitchcock Institute of American Studies, and is on the composition faculty for Face the Music.
