Style Guide-Vocal Jazz


Vocal Jazz is our least a cappella section, in that some of best close harmony vocal jazz includes instrumental accompaniment.

Early vocal jazz was the popular music of the day (the 1930s and 40s), while more modern vocal jazz ensembles perform complex jazz harmony arrangements, mostly of standards.

Unlike instrumental jazz, where improvisation dominates performance time, vocal jazz only occasionally features scat (vocal improvisation).

Like instrumental jazz, the vocal jazz ensembles we carry often fuse other styles in their musical melange - pop, classical and world.

Popular groups include The Real Group, The Swingle Singers and Singers Unlimited.
