Two cities. Countless voices. One living network of jazz.
Introducing the Jazz Generations Initiative (@jgi.sphere)—a new bridge between the vibrant jazz scenes of New York and New Orleans.
Powered by artists and scholars, and supported by a $5.8 million grant from Mellon, the program brings jazz performance, scholarship, education, and history under one umbrella.
Led by Dr. Courtney Bryan and Dr. Robert G. O’Meally, the Jazz Generations Initiative offers a new model for sharing jazz with audiences, one that emphasizes legacy as much as innovation.
The program will gather oral histories and archives, while hosting new artist residencies and live jams across the two cities—all in service of building a robust future for jazz through connection and community.
“Jazz teaches us values of listening. With our interdisciplinary and intergenerational initiative, we aim to build upon the wisdom of our elders and perspectives of our youth as we collectively imagine new futures and bold possibilities,” says Dr. Bryan.
Check out upcoming events from @jgi.newyork and @jgi.neworleans:
