Under the direction of Jennifer Barnes, the group features fourteen vocalists and a five-piece rhythm section performing a challenging and diverse repertoire, including works by current students, alumni, and faculty. They have appeared at major conferences such as the Jazz Education Network, International Association for Jazz Education, and American Choral Directors Association, and have earned a DownBeat Student Music Award in thirteen of the past fourteen years. Their six albums are available on major streaming platforms, including their latest release, Too Darn Hot! (2025).
Jazz voice majors at UNT participate in multiple ensembles while studying solo jazz singing, songwriting, pedagogy, improvisation, theory, arranging, and jazz history. Students also perform in groups such as Jazz Chamber Ensembles, the Latin Jazz Lab Band, Zebras, Brazilian Ensemble, and the Lab Bands. Alumni have gone on to receive major honors, including Grammy nominations, and have built careers as performers, educators, and composers.
