Performances by the best vocal jazz groups around, coaching with world-class
clinicians, a beatbox workshop with vocal whizzkid and vice-world champion
Roxorloops - the Vocal Jazz Summit 2009 offers a glimpse of what today's vocal
scene has to offer. A feast for all afficionados of a cappella, a must-see for
jazz lovers, a unique opportunity for existing groups to learn the tricks of the
trade from the masters.

One of today's finest a cappella ensembles,The Real Group shot to fame with
their stunning arrangements of the great jazz standards and a unique sound. By
now, their original compositions, too, are sung by groups and choirs all around
the world.

Five time grammy award winning ensemble The Swingle Singers, defined the vocal
sound of a generation, crossing over between classical music and jazz
Using their voices as an instrument has always been a trademark of theirs and so
the collaboration of special guest Roxorloops, as well as the presentation of
their new album "Ferris Wheels" is highly anticipated.

The Manhattan Transfer has been at the forefront of vocal jazz for several
decades. Their collaborations with Gene Puerling, with Bobby McFerrin or
Gilberto Gil are legendary, while their album "Vocalese" (in collaboration with
Jon Hendricks) garnered them 12 Grammy nominations, a record only topped by
Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" !
