t Voice DanceGreg Jasperse. This is amazing!
A wordless vocal dance, celebrating the human
voice and the joy of singing together - this
goes beyond vocal jazz into the realm of sound
painting. Unlike most vocal jazz, the syllables
used are virtually all open vowel sounds, such as
Ba va da do way and Da dee ya dan do way. For
choirs at the medium-advanced level, this creates
a compelling vocal texture such as you've never
heard! Highly recommended!

much how old I grow, I hate to see October go."
A cappella choirs will enjoy the lush jazz harmonies
in this tasteful arrangement of Barry Manilow's
1985 hit. Impeccable voice leading and open vowel
sounds make this special.

Vocal Improvisation GamesJeffrey Agrell &
Patrice Madura Ward-Steinman. The authors of this
book open the door to improvisation for all non-jazz
musicians who thought it was beyond their ability to
play extemporaneously. Gently, step by step, Jeffrey
Agrell and Patrice Madura lead us through a series of
games rather than exercises. The game format takes
the pressure off of classically trained musicians,
steering them away from their fixation on mistake-
free performance and introducing the basic concepts
of playing with music itself instead of obsessing over
a perfect rendition of a written score.
