Generations In Jazz is an annual weekend Jazz Festival held in Mount Gambier, Australia.

It is held in May and brings together many young jazz musicians to participate in and compete for awards and scholarships. The weekend in May provides an environment for young musicians to perform and learn, to share fellowship with their peers, and to hear professionals perform. Many schools make this an annual event, with community and high school bands travelling from across Australia to attend.

History

The Generations in Jazz Festival was first held in 1987. The festival's genesis dates from 1982 when three young musicians performed a tribute for their fathers and grandfathers. Nowadays, an estimated 5,000 young people in bands from all around Australia make their way to Mount Gambier each year. Professional musicians who have taught, performed or judged at the festival include James Morrison, Daryl Somers, Ross Irwin, James Muller, Wycliffe Gordon, Graeme Lyall, Gordon Goodwin and his Big Phat Band,[1] Take 6, and Jeff Clayton.

Awards and scholarships

The 'James Morrison Jazz Scholarship' is open to solo instrumentalists. Six finalists are judged during the Generations In Jazz weekend. The winner receives $10,000 to assist in the development of their career.

Generations in Jazz Vocal Scholarship

The winner will receive $5,000 to assist in the development of their career.

City of Mt. Gambier National Big Bands

The Big Band part of the festival invites secondary school big bands from around Australia to compete for prize money of up to $7000 (Division 1).[2] There are four divisions for big bands to enter in. Bands in division's 1, 2, 3 and 4 compete for prize money and stand-out musicians can be rewarded with a place in their divisions "Superband" (division 1, 2, 3 and 4 only). Several improvising musicians in Division 1 are nominated as potential "Future Finalists" of the James Morrison Jazz Scholarship, and one is selected to win $3,500 to assist their musical education. The Division 1 and 2 superbands and future finalists all play at the Festival Finale. Division 5 (first introduced in 2013) bands are adjudicated only, though one band is selected to win an encouragement award.

James Morrison Academy of Music

The James Morrison Academy of Music (previously known as the Generations In Jazz Academy) is a Jazz Performance course run by Graeme Lyall catering to young musicians. It is run in Mount Gambier, South Australia, and offers a one-year Diploma of Music through its affiliation with the University of South Australia. The course covers Aural and Theory work, Arranging and Improvisation. All students rehearse together as a large ensemble for 90 minutes, Monday to Friday. The ensemble has the opportunity to play with James Morrison at the Generations in Jazz Festival. In 2015 the academy moved into the Old Town Hall in Mt Gambier.
