Four remarkable singers recently joined forces to create a new ensemble; their first performance was this past week at the JEN Conference.
Säje – Sarah Gazarek, Amanda Taylor, Johnaye Kendrick, Erin Bentlage – is exploring new territory in group harmony singing, with an emphasis on connected, emotionally grounded, deeply individual singing.
Their set was live-streamed on Instagram but is currently down. You can, however, see a few clips on their Instagram Feed, or look out for them in some upcoming live performances.
(These performances include one in Kalamazoo at the Gold Company Vocal Jazz Festival on March 27. I’ll be there, and so should you!)
