If you are teaching vocal jazz or trying to learn the style, buy this book and CD! A gifted arranger and educator, Michele Weir lays out the details necessary to become proficient at vocal improvisation. The CD features Weir, Darmon Meador (New York Voices) and Don Shelton (Singers Unlimited, Hi-Lo's) singing on one channel, with a rhythm section on the other channel, through 21 varied charts. Six of those have call and response to get you improvising quickly! The book has many more exercises and etudes for growing as a singer, plus interviews with 19 jazz singers (Bobby McFerrin, DeeDee Bridgewater, Mark Murphy and more).
