The New York Conservatory of Modern Music was a music school in New York City, founded soon after World War II[a] by principal Alfred Francis Sculco,[b] a professional trumpeter from Westerly, Rhode Island who attended the Juilliard School, and played with the big bands of Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Harry James.[5][8]
Located at 552 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn,[1] it is notable for the alumni who went on to become working jazz musicians,[c] including Jimmy Cheatham,[10] Wally Cirillo,[11] Seldon Powell,[12] and George Tucker.[13] Jazz record producer Don Schlitten is also a former student.[14][15]
In addition to Sculco (affectionately known as "Squeak" by the students)[16] and others, Tony Aless,[2][12] Billy Bauer,[2][17] Jim Chapin,[18][19] and Don Lamond[2] were all instructors at the college.
