Don’t miss JERSEY JAZZ LIVE! on Sunday December 10, 2023 at 3pm.
The Royal Bopsters 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 classics and bebop style to the next generation and beyond. The Bopsters delve deeply into vocalese, the art of writing lyrics to instrumental jazz solos. To that, they add their original songs and arrangements.
London Jazz News called the group’s 2020 Motema Music album, Party of Four, “dramatic, multi-layered and full of intimate, shifting, four-part harmonies drawing eclectic inspiration from (and paying due homage to) many masters of the jazz tradition.” DownBeat’s Allen Morrison described the album as a “touchstone for jazz arrangers and vocalists.”
Admission to this event will be $15 for NJJS members and $20 for non-members. There will be light refreshments for purchase. $5 Student Ticket (with Valid I.D.)
Funding for Jersey Jazz Live! has been made possible, in part, by funds from Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of The National Endowment for the Arts.
