Vocal ensemble: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Vocal ensemble

Vocal ensemble is a jazz vocal group heard on New York City stages, including Jazz at Lincoln Center. The group has worked alongside artists such as Godwin Louis with the JLCO, Kate Kortum and Preservation, John Manzari, Luther S. Allison, C. Anthony Bryant, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Octet. Their repertoire often draws on the idiom’s choral traditions, from close harmony to rhythm-forward phrasing. The singing favors blend and textual clarity over spectacle, even in large-room settings like the Appel Room.
