Guildhall Jazz department has no fewer than four vocal ensembles running throughout the academic year and featuring both vocal students and instrumentalists.
COVID-19 restrictions meant fewer opportunities for these vocal ensembles to get together and sing, but that didn’t stop them wanting to make music together. Instead, the Jazz department invited the internationally renowned vocal group New York Voices to collaborate from across the Atlantic on a recording project.
Each member of New York Voices gave their own masterclass, and through Soundtrap (an online digital audio workstation, or DAW), the Guildhall musicians were able to get direct feedback on the recordings as they were working on them, almost as if New York Voices were in the room.
