Beginning with the most important jazz vocalists of our day, we will listen to and view videos illuminating their stylistic markers (e.g., material, sound, phrasing) and ways earlier greats inspired their singing. Subsequently, we’ll focus on lesser-known vocalists on today’s scene deserving of wider recognition, including some who 1. cross over into pop, cabaret, etc.; 2. cross over into ethnic music or the avant-garde. Special attention will be on vocalists presented live in our area by the Jazz Club of Sarasota and others, plus several local favorites, with one or more guest visits to our class. As always, this will be a lively discussion class, and students are encouraged to bring their own favorites to share with the class.
