We're doing this very arrangement with these spectacular artists in just a few weeks and I ask your help in spreading the word about the upcoming appearance by New York Voices with the UL Jazz Ensemble on Feb. 20 and 21. We'll have clinics for vocalists and instrumentalists on both days, and open rehearsal on 2/20 at 7 p.m. The final concert (9 great charts with the big band, plus incredible a cappella numbers) at 7:30 p.m. on 2/21. I'll be able to comp in groups of students if you can bring them, and you need only contact me at my office to set that up. Many thanks, Bill
PS visit the link to the NYV web site to see and hear some of their amazing live performances.
