UC Jazz Voices
In the UC Jazz Vocal Ensemble students learn about their relationship to the beat, their phrasing, and their individual sounds. Each one unique, each signature strives to change the rhythm or melody, tempo or mood, to allow their sounds to leave indelible marks. Their voices speak to us. They learn to share different sets practicing their unique abilities as composers, improvisers and arrangers.
UC Jazz Ensembles vocalists learn how to sing and develop their skills to interpret the standard repertoire of Jazz. They learn to interpret these classics in their own voice.
The program was very popular and added a great deal to the young singers that participated in them. Here is a link to another song by Rosette Diaz a past student at the UC Jazz Ensembles - Voices program.
