Generations of Jazz is a history lesson performed by a band and singers, demonstrating the origins and evolution of jazz from its roots in the Negro spiritual and European music to Dixieland, Swing, Bebop and a few stops in between. Pam Purvis, noted vocalist, is the musical director for the program. Other key personnel include Bob Ackerman on reeds and narrator Stan Myers from WBGO. The role of each instrument and singing style is explained and demonstrated. Students participate in several parts of the program. April is Jazz Appreciation Month.
