Details & Information
Building on Kerry’s previous JazzVoice.com workshop on the same topic, this session will outline a streamlined and reliable process that Kerry has developed for vocal jazz ensemble arranging, answering one of the most common questions from budding arrangers: “Where do you start?!” The workshop will present an approach that helps narrow down the myriad decisions in this creative process into manageable options from start to finish, making sure to be thorough while helping avoiding choice paralysis. Kerry Marsh is a distinguished arranger and publisher with a focus on vocal jazz ensembles. Acclaimed arts critic Terry Teachout has praised Kerry's work, describing his "gorgeous charts, wide-spaced harmonies, and tingling dissonances" as the pinnacle of postmodern vocal group writing. As a highly sought-after commissioned arranger, Kerry's extensive catalog of music is performed globally by some of the top educational vocal and instrumental jazz ensembles. Currently based in Lawrence, Kansas, Kerry is serving as the guest director for The University of Kansas Jazz Singers, and has published over 300 compositions and arrangements on KerryMarsh.com. Kerry's background in jazz education is extensive, having spent six years as a faculty member in the jazz studies program at The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) in Greeley. During his tenure, Kerry directed two advanced vocal jazz ensembles and taught applied jazz voice. Under his guidance, UNC's Vocal Lab and Northern Colorado Voices garnered six Down Beat Magazine Student Music Awards in the Large Graduate Level Vocal Jazz Ensemble category. In collaboration with his wife and musical partner, Julia Dollison, Kerry released his ambitious debut album, Vertical Voices: The Music of Maria Schneider, which earned critical acclaim, including a four-star review in Down Beat Magazine.
