Dominique Eade emphasizes a group sound rather than a rhythm section playing for singers. The student vocalists selected and arranged much of the repertoire, and learned to lead the ensemble in rehearsal and performance. Vocal improvisation is emphasized as well. Rhythm section players have considerable opportunity to play improvised solos and to learn the art of complimenting a vocalist in a variety of styles.
