Robin Phillips will give an insight into the art of vocalese jazz singing, what it is, how it developed, and practical exploration of learning existing vocalese songs and working on original vocalese for future study.

 

Vocalese is the art of writing and singing lyrics to an instrumental solo that was once improvised, it is one of the most challenging of the jazz vocal artforms. 

 

Open to all singers but especially for those with some experience of jazz singing and also scatting.

 

Following his vocalese workshop, singer/pianist Robin Phillips will be joined by Joel Humann on bass and Louis Thorne on guitar for a performance including songs from previous albums and his forthcoming album project.
