This class covers numerous aspects of jazz performance from interpretation and phrasing to improvisation and working with an accompanist. We’ll explore jazz songs performed with R&B styling and ornaments, and R&B songs inflected with a jazz approach. Students should bring one song (from any genre) per class to perform, for a total of four songs over the 4-week class. Going beyond category is the future of the contemporary jazz singer! Prerequisites: none! Open to all.
