Jazz is the continuum that unites the Spiritual, Gospel, the Blues, and classical music. The Kentucky State Generations Ensemble blends sounds of the past, present, and future creating an intergenerational jazz journey through the HBCU Experience.  Alto Saxophonist and KYSU Director of Bands, Dr. Rodney Chism, joins jazz pianist and program coordinator, Dr./ Keith McCutchen, in co-directing this ensemble of students, alumni, and faculty. 

Who will be into this? 
Lovers of the choral traditions of the Spiritual, to those who love Memphis Blues, to those who need the pulse of the Post-Bop tradition or Hip Hop, will enjoy this intergenerational musical journey.
