Summary of This Book

Just Voices Jazz is a collection designed as a launching pad into three-part a cappella choral singing. The approach is progressive and accessible: harmonizations remain clear, vocal lines are crafted for beginner singers, and the writing encourages the development of stable pitch accuracy and active listening between sections, two essential skills for singing without accompaniment.

The great strength of this volume lies in its versatility: each piece can be sung interchangeably by an SSA (equal voices) or SAT (mixed) choir. Whether you lead a school choir, an amateur ensemble, or a vocal workshop, you can work on the same program with different voice distributions without losing harmonic balance. For rehearsals, the included piano reductions help secure entrances, check chords, establish groove, and isolate challenging passages before moving to a fully a cappella performance.

The repertoire highlights jazz with ten well-known titles, particularly effective for approaching phrasing, syncopation, tempo maintenance, and ensemble cohesion: "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Come Fly With Me", "Don't Know Why", "Fever", "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)", "If I Had You", "Stormy Weather", "T'aint What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)", "Take The 'A' Train", and "The Girl From Ipanema (Garota De Ipanema)". A perfect selection to build a first jazz choral score program in three voices that is musical, motivating, and immediately rewarding in concert.
