By Jan Shapiro
Since the 1930s and ̕40s, jazz has stood tall in American popular
music, drawing into its embrace not only great horn players,
percussionists, guitarists, bassists, and pianists, but also some of the
greatest singers in America’s musical history. Jazz has laid the
groundwork for important innovations in modern singing, opening up
entirely new ways of delivering songs through what would eventually
become jazz standards—songs that formed the basis of the American
Songbook.
In So You Want to Sing Jazz, singer and professor of
voice Jan Shapiro gives a guided tour through the art and science of the
jazz vocal style. Throughout, Shapiro hones in on what makes jazz
singing distinctive, suggesting along the way how other types of singers
can make use of jazz. She looks at such key matters in jazz singing as
the role of improvisation, the place of specific singers who influenced
and even defined vocal jazz as we know it today, and the unique way in
which jazz incorporates vibrato, conversational delivery, rhythmic
phrasing, and melodic embellishment and improvisation.
The book
includes guest-authored chapters by singing voice researchers Dr. Scott
McCoy and Dr. Wendy LeBorgne. In So You Want to Sing Jazz, singers and
voice teachers finally have the go-to resource they need for singing
vocal jazz.
