About the GRAMMY Award Winning Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra:
Steven Feifke and Bijon Watson are both âfrequent-flyer-mileâ performers in a number of internationally acclaimed large ensembles, and noticed one small problem in each one:
...there is almost no generation gap!
The longstanding tradition spearheaded by artists like Art Blakey and Horace Silver of hiring the âyoung gunsâ for an ensemble has all but disapppeared in recent years...
With more than two decades between them, Steven and Bijon make the objective of âThe Generation Gap Jazz Orchestraâ to strengthen that tradition of mentorship that has shaped and defined the jazz idiom since its earliest beginnings.
