MCG Jazz announces auditions for the next great male jazz vocalist!




MCG JAZZ IS SEARCHING FOR A STAR!

MCG JAZZ ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR THE NEXT GREAT MALE JAZZ VOCALIST
The Gentlemen Sing: Three Generations of Song featuring Allan Harris and Ernie Andrews is missing its next generation singer.

This brand-new curated project by Marty Ashby and MCG Jazz features Allan Harris, Ernie Andrews and a brand-new artist that will be chosen by nationwide search.

MCG Jazz opens the search with a nationwide call for submissions from young male jazz vocalists, followed by live auditions here in Pittsburgh with Allan Harris and Freddy Cole.  The project will culminate in a two-concert presentation showcasing Allan Harris, Jazz Master Ernie Andrews and a brand new jazz star!

MCG Jazz invites young male jazz vocalists, ages 18 to 35, to submit resumes and videos and compete to win the ultimate prize: a 2-show live concert appearance at MCG Jazz on February 28, 2014 with superstar Allan Harris and living legend Ernie Andrews.
 
Every entry must include the application (downloadable at MCGJazz.org), a resume and a 5 to 7-minute video that includes the individual singing “It Could Happen to You” in a medium tempo and one tune of his choosing.

Submissions are being accepted electronically now through September 13, 2013.

Submit your video online via YouTube using the tag “MCGGen3” and email your application to
 kfriedson@mcg-btc.org.

Alternatively, you may send a DVD with your application to MCG Jazz, Attention: Kahmeela Friedson, 1815 Metropolitan Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15233.
