Mt. Sac's Singcopation, founded in 1997, consists of twelve auditioned singers who specialize in vocal jazz music. They have been invited to perform at many jazz conventions including the International Assn. of Jazz Educators, LA Vocal Jazz Workshop, and they have won the 2001, -2, -4, -5 & -6 Downbeat Magazine award for being the #1 college vocal jazz choir in the country. They are directed by Mt. Sac's award-winning Director of Choral Activities, Bruce Rogers, who is also co-founder of the LA Vocal Jazz Workshop. There are 11 songs, some accompanied by a rhythm section of drums, piano and bass. Our first favorite would have to be Monk/Hendricks' scatty 'In Walked Bud' with wonderful vocal percussion and bass; Peggy Lee's 'I Don't Know Enough About You,' the moody title tune by Bernard Ighner, Cole Porter's 'Get Out of Town,' a sweet harmonied, a cappella cover of Hoagy Carmichael's 'I Get Along Without You Very Well,' a bluenote arrangement of Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes' and an a cappella cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing,' also with great vocal percussion. Hot, entertaining stuff from one of our best collegiate jazz ensembles!
