Vocal Jazz Ensembles

Vocal jazz ensembles are groups of singers who perform jazz music specifically arranged for multiple voices. They often feature harmonized singing, where singers coordinate their voices to create rich, textured sounds, mimicking instrumental jazz elements like horns and rhythm sections. These ensembles can range from small groups, such as quartets or quintets, to larger choirs. They emphasize improvisation, swing feel, and intricate vocal arrangements, often performing standards from the jazz repertoire. Vocal jazz ensembles showcase vocal skill and chemistry, blending individual voices into a cohesive, expressive musical conversation.
