Voices in Jazz New York with Roseanna Vitro

  • Soapbox Gallery 636 Dean Street Brooklyn, NY, 11238 United States (map)

New York's Royal Bopsters, formed in 2012, bring a new and refreshing approach to the art of vocal jazz. Vocalists Amy London, Jeanne O'Connor, Pete McGuinness and Dylan Pramuk pay tribute to their jazz heroes through intricate harmonies and energetic delivery, bringing jazz classic and bebop to the next generation and beyond. The Bopsters delve deeply into vocal improvisation and vocalese, the practice of penning lyrics to instrumental jazz solos. Their original songs and arrangements further the tradition of modern jazz, bebop and the blues.
