The Gennett Suite is an interesting exploration of jazz roots, crafted by students at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. It's not your typical documentary—rather, it’s a live performance that encapsulates the spirit of the Jazz Age. The ensemble plays an original composition, which feels both fresh and deeply respectful of the past. You get a sense of history woven into the music, as each note seems to echo the legends recorded at Gennett Records. The pacing flows like a jazz piece itself, smooth yet surprising at times. While the director is unknown, the student performers bring an earnestness to the piece that’s quite engaging. It's a unique homage to an era and the artists who shaped it, all while keeping the audience connected to the present.
