Groove Society is an award winning vocal ensemble
with a growing reputation for their excellence in jazz and a cappella
singing. Thoughtfully crafted arrangements, masterful use of extended
harmonies, intricate rhythms and exhilarating improvisations characterize
this ensemble's unique sound. Although the group's roots are firmly planted
in the jazz genre, they are not afraid to demonstrate their versatility
by performing in a variety of styles. Whether singing Latin, blues, bebop,
rock, pop, funk or R&B, a common thread of exuberant passion and
soul runs throughout each performance.
Former members of the University of Northern
Colorado's Grammy nominated ensemble, Vocal Jazz 1, formed the group
in 2002. With degrees ranging from vocal performance to music education
to theory and composition, they have combined their talents to create
a dynamic group that captivates audiences and finds itself in demand.
In their short history Groove Society has already performed throughout
Colorado and the Western United States and has shared the stage with
influential jazz artists including Paul Taylor, Nelson Rangell and Peter
Eldridge.
In addition to their busy performing schedule,
Groove Society also works in education, giving workshops and clinics
to high school and college students. Individually, members are involved
in a variety of projects including solo performances and recordings,
teaching, adjudicating, writing and arranging. The group hopes to continue
to explore all styles of music and expand their audiences for years to
come. |
