Vocal Jazz

The The College of Idaho Vocal Jazz Ensemble is a select award-winning group of singers and instrumentalists. Directed by Dr. Marianne Saunders, the group has been in existence for only 5 years, yet it is in high demand for performances on campus and off. The group specializes in classic jazz favorites, much in the style of Manhattan Transfer, capitalizing on the expertise of the student soloists. Each singer uses their own microphone and the rhythm section is comprised of piano, upright acoustic bass, drumset, and guitar. In 1995 one of our singers received first place in the college soloist division at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. The group tours with the other The College of Idaho Choirs and thus, they have traveled to Ireland, England, Canada, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City.

The Vocal Jazz Ensemble is an upbeat, high-energy group, which is a joy to hear, and a delight to experience.

The Vocal Jazz Ensemble would like to perform for your community event, business lunch/dinner, or reception etc. For more information please contact their director, Dr. Marianne Saunders e-mail: msaunder@collegeofidaho.edu or call (208) 459-5877.
