Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra
“Regardless of any age discrepancy within its ranks, the GGJO is a truly remarkable ensemble, and its debut album (the hope is that many more will follow) is sharp and radiant from start to finish. ”
“A new construction on top of jazz’s most favored foundation.”

FROM BIRDLAND, NYC
Steven Feifke (pianist, composer, arranger/orchestator and conductor) and Bijon Watson (lead trumpet) have joined forces to bring together a big band featuring some of the most well known names in all of jazz including Kurt Elling, Sean Jones, John Fedchock, and more.
With more than two decades between them, Steven and Bijon make the objective of “The Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra” to strengthen that tradition of mentorship that has shaped and defined the jazz idiom since its earliest beginnings.
