When I learn the history and experiences that shaped my favorite artists and teachers, I gain knowledge for my own artistry and teaching. Bob Stoloff is at the top of my list as a vocal improvisation teacher. He also possesses a warm personality and great sense of humor. Bob recently made New York City his permanent address and has released a new book titled, Vocal Improvisation. He is an internationally recognized adjudicator, clinician, and jazz choir consultant.
