It seems inadequate to attempt to describe what Generations in Jazz is in words. As many would say “you really need to go to experience it to know what it’s all about”.From basic beginnings in 1982 as a testimonial for local musicians in Mount Gambier – Frank Cleves, Tom OÇonnor and Joe Hannigan – this event organized by two sons – Dale Cleves (OAM) and Leigh O’Connor along with Malcolm Bromley, has grown and developed into something way beyond the initial concept. These gentlemen now known as the “ Founders “ have contributed to the event and from 1987 have seen it evolve to what it is today.
This is the strength of GIJ – the desire and ability for continual improvement for the participants based on mutual respect and understanding of the organization and the schools and their needs. It is a unique educational and social experience for all concerned – Music Directors, Students, Supervisors, Bus Drivers, Guest Artists, Musicians, Production crew, Public, Volunteers, Contractors, and GIJ team members.
Imagine a “the largest big top in the Southern Hemisphere “in a paddock, ten minutes from the heart of Mount Gambier, seating 8000 people as part of a major concert that would rival any city-based venue.
Imagine finding accommodation for over 6000 participants as do the GIJ Accommodation Team.
Imagine over 6000 participants being fed in three venues, over two or three sittings for dinner from Friday to lunch on Sunday, or fifteen separate venues being utilized over an area of eighty acres for Saturday’s school competition.
