Vocalize

We are a vocal jazz quartet at heart. That means that our standard fare, primarily a cappella, but with some piano accompaniment, is old and new favourites of popular music. Nothing gets us more excited than an expertly crafted close harmony arrangement of a well-know tune!

Our contemporary repertoire is diverse, with music from the early 20th century right up to chart-toppers from very recent years. Here are some of the items from our past repertoire:

• Can’t Buy Me Love – Lennon/McCartney
• The Kerry Dance – Molloy
• Over the Rainbow – Harold Arlen
• You Are the New Day – John David
• When You Say You Love Me – Josh Groban
