Temple University Jazz Choir

Ruth Naomi Floyd, director

Temple University Jazz Choir is a vocal ensemble consisting of 4-12 singers divided into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts. The group performs standard jazz choir repertoire with full rhythm section accompaniment (piano, bass, drums). Each meeting is devoted to rehearsing parts, focusing on blend, dynamics, intonation, articulation, expression, interpretation, and stage presence. Iconic groups that would be emulated include The Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, Syncopation, and Vox One. Vocal arrangements recorded and published by these groups (and others) are performed, in addition to the works of contemporary arrangers.
