Generations of Jazz is the New Jersey Jazz Society’s traveling jazz-history program. The presentation, around 75 minutes in length, includes a quintet of experienced musician-narrators who survey some of the music’s highlights throughout the decades – offering a definition of jazz, a look at its instrumentation, an examination of some of its history and of course, provides lots of great music. It’s a fun and entertaining show, designed for an audience with and appreciation of music. A ‘Q-and A’ session follows the performance.
Rutgers historian Lewis Porter and Hammond B3 maestro Radam Schwartz each lead a group of skilled musicians for this traveling jazz show. Click here for more information on the program and its musicians.
Generations of Jazz continues to be offered at a discounted price to schools and libraries thanks in part to a grant from the Rea Charitable Trust and from contributions from members of the New Jersey Jazz Society. The program has been very well-received throughout Bergen, Passaic and Morris Counties. This fun and interesting show would love to travel to your town!
