The Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program (EE) is a unique educational resource for high school jazz bands. Created by Jazz at Lincoln Center during the 1995–96 school year, the program supports the development of school music programs through distribution of the music of Duke Ellington and other seminal big band composers and arrangers, recordings, teaching guides, expert feedback, and other resources. The program also provides repertoire and rehearsal guide, non-competitive regional festivals, and an annual Competition & Festival held each May in New York City.
