The Vermont Jazz Center is a school for jazz founded by guitarist Attila Zoller in Brattleboro, Vermont.[1] Zoller started the center as the Attila Zoller Jazz Clinics in 1974. The center was renamed Vermont Jazz Center when he incorporated the business.[2] The center runs an annual summer workshop, lessons, and a concert series.[1][3] In 2016, the center purchased a Steinway D-274.[1] In 2014, the center received an Acclaim Award from Chamber Music America.[3] The center does not rely on grant funding for much of its programming, generating funding from donors and other income.[4]
