The Ithaca College Jazz Vocal Ensemble (JVE), directed by John W. White, has a long and rich history of music making in New York state. The group’s repertoire spans many styles within the jazz tradition, including a cappella and accompanied works in swing, Latin, contemporary, and funk styles, among others.Established in the 1970s by the late David Riley, distinguished professor of Music Education, over the years the JVE has included numerous members that went on to establish successful careers in the music profession. In the mid-1980s, Dave Riley’s direction brought the IC-JVE international acclaim—which included a 1986 performance tour of high-profile European Jazz festivals—and his teaching provided training for many jazz educators and performers, including three founding members of the Grammy Award winning New York Voices. Join us this month to experience one of their annual exhilarating performances!
