艾莉森·克罗克特, 灵魂和爵士天后, who has been in the worldwide the music scene as a vocalist and educator for decades has created a program/performance that seeks to educate and include singers of all ages and generations in the joy of singing vocal 爵士乐. Crockett has been an award-winning and prolific 爵士乐, soul and electronica vocalist and has been featured on dozens of recordings including King Britt in his Neo-soul creation, “When the Funk hits the Fan,” the acid 爵士乐 and hip-hop mash up of Us3 “An Ordinary Day in and Unusual Place,” as well as two EPs and four full-length records most notably the chart topping “On Becoming a Woman…”.
She has been described as “Mix [of] Nina Simone’s urgency, Betty Carter’s chops and Jill Scott’s sass, and you’ll get the bold and bravura vocalist 艾莉森·克罗克特…”. Crockett then released “Return of Diva Blue,” a electronica remix record, “Bare” an acoustic piano based record, “妈妈, 什么是大萧条?” a political mashup of funk, 爵士乐, electronica and soul originals and 爵士乐 standards and finally, “Obrigada” an EP recorded in Brazil of originals and Bossa nova classics. Crockett has always been a craftsman, journeying through different genres, seeing the musical world through new eyes each time. She has toured the world several times over, working and recording with multiple artists in various genres.
Crockett has also spent the last two decades of her life promoting music and 爵士乐 vocal education. As a university professor first at Temple University and then at George Washington University, she has trained 爵士乐 and pop vocalists privately and through the 爵士乐 choral ensemble, GW摇摆舞. She has worked with school-age children as the musical director of Highbridge Voices, 写作, arranging and conducting over 250 children from the Bronx, to being the choral music instructor at the prestigious Fillmore 艺术 Center in Washington, D.C.十多年来. In her last year of teaching at Fillmore, she started to center totally on 爵士乐 choral education, exposing students to the joy of swinging and scatting and understanding the history and culture of 爵士乐 music. This was the genus of Generations of Vocal Jazz the performance festival.
Generations of Vocal Jazz’s (GVJ) goal is to create intergenerational connections through the performance and study of choral 爵士乐 music. This program initially culminated in a performance featuring singers from the Baby Boomers and Generation X (Capitol Voices of Levine School of 音乐) to Millennials (GW摇摆舞 爵士乐 choir), all the way to the present generation Z (Fillmore Jazz Choir). D.C. area has a plethora of successful 爵士乐 professional and amateur singers. The vocal 爵士乐 community is strongly interconnected, but not with the K-12 choral community. GVJ seeks to rectify that through partnerships with schools, teacher trainings and performances, most notably the Generations of Vocal Jazz performance, held annually at George Washington University.
