Pure Bliss—Jazz for singers−and those who think they can’t sing!

By Mark Milstein

EVE ZANNI

Celebrated jazz vocalist Eve Zanni and distinguished composer and jazz pianist Isaac Raz are offering a free weekly jazz choral experience–the Bliss Singers–every Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the Westbeth Community Room. It’s perfect for both singers and those who think they can’t sing. Focused on songs of hope, love, and social justice, with a strong emphasis on community and spiritual uplift, Bliss Singers’ meetings provide a joyful hour of music and friendship singing the most meaningful songs you know and love.

As Eve says, “Creating healthy, supported sound was our ancestors’ first survival tool. Everyone needs healthy vocal production and habits. The My Bliss Singing Warm Up routine to live jazz piano accompaniment is specially designed to both relax and energize through vocal exercises, breath work, gentle stretches, dance moves and improvisation. My super-fun warm-up routine is like going to the gym for your voice.”

ISAAC RAZ

Both Eve and Isaac are professional music educators, as well as performers. In addition to her long tenure teaching music in the New York City school system, Eve holds a master’s degree in jazz voice and jazz education. A certified Kodaly educator, she also holds a certification in somatic voicework. Isaac is the founder and president of WholeMusicLLC, the innovative music program designed to engage the “whole person.”

These exceptional, generous, people are offering their art and their craft to their neighbors every Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the Westbeth Community Room located at 55 Bethune Street, with an entrance on either Bank or Bethune streets between Washington and West streets.

Come along for a healthful, uplifting hour!
