You're leaving out Juilliard, which has a somewhat new, however quite amazing jazz program. Other then that, it really depends on the teacher you want to study with. Check each school for the teacher you would study with and then make your selection! Personally, I'm going to attend Oberlin for my Doctorate in jazz performance, because Robin Eubanks is the trombone teacher there... he's the best jazz trombonist out right now, so I want to study with him!

Once again, this next paragraph is not meant to offend the other answerer. But, college does matter (for some) especially because it gives you a chance to develop your sound, develop your performance practice, but most importantly study with the greats AND once your good enough pick up some of their gigs! You see, if you study with someone and are getting real good, they'll start giving you gigs their called for and they don't want. You better be real amazing to not go to college... because there's a lot of great jazz musicians, but not a lot of great jazz gigs!

The best jazz school in NYC is the street. You learn to play by playing with other people, and listening to the greats, and spending hours practicing and playing. The only reason to go to college is to get a piece of paper so you can get teaching jobs.
