Vocal groups hold an underappreciated place in the jazz idiom. 'Jazz-heads' (read: snobs) often dismiss them as trite or pop-oriented, perhaps likening them to a college a cappella troupe or disdaining them as antiquated. The New York Voices are far from that. They are serious musicians, advancing jazz music while honoring its past. The group is part of a lineage of jazz vocal groups that have celebrated the music as far back as its creation. For the past several decades, they have been the gold standard for the sub-genre.
