Eben Jordan Ensemble Room
Free
In-Person Event
Open to the Public
Jazz Studies at NEC presents an evening featuring ensembles directed by Dominique Eade.
Both the Jazz Vocal and Songwriting ensembles emphasize a group sound, providing students the chance to arrange repertoire, workshop original pieces, and explore vocal improvisation.
American vocalist, composer and improviser Dominique Eade blends musical virtuosity with a songwriter’s straightforward emotional sensibility, creating music that has garnered critical acclaim, inspired audiences, and served as a creative signpost for generations of singers. Deemed “a fearless collaborator” by pianist Fred Hersch, Eade’s musical associations have ranged from Alan Dawson and Stanley Cowell to MacArthur grant recipients Ran Blake and Anthony Braxton.
