The Jazz Vocalists of Minnesota, an organization dedicated to the promotion of jazz singing through performance, networking and education, announced their second public workshop, scheduled for October 4th (10 am- 5 pm) at Schmitt Music in Edina. Focused on singers and styles of the great songwriters of the 20s and 30s, three veteran singers of the local jazz scene -- Arne Fogel, Vicky Mountain and Rhonda Laurie -- will share their expertise with new and experienced vocalists (age 16+) or anyone fascinated by the art and history of jazz singing. Participants will have the unique opportunity to work with an all-star trio -- including pianist, Phil Aaron and bassist, Jocko MacNelly -- in a supportive environment with coaching from some of the best singers in the Twin Cities!
