Straight No Chaser - The Christmas Can-Can

This video was filmed in New York City and is part of the upcoming PBS Special Live In New York: Holiday Edition.

ABOUT STRAIGHT NO CHASER (Biography)

Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a massive fanbase, more than 20 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with two holiday releases, 2008’s HOLIDAY SPIRITS and 2009’s CHRISTMAS CHEERS as well as WITH A TWIST, released this spring. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal – the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.

A cappella (Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel"[1]) music is specifically solo or group singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It is the opposite of cantata, which is accompanied singing. A cappella was originally intended to differentiate between Renaissance polyphony and Baroque concertato style. In the 19th century a renewed interest in Renaissance polyphony coupled with an ignorance of the fact that vocal parts were often doubled by instrumentalists led to the term coming to mean unaccompanied vocal music.[2] In modern usage, a cappella often refers to an all-vocal group performance of any style, including barbershop, doo wop, and modern pop/rock. Today, a cappella also includes sample/loop "vocal only" productions by producers like Jimmy Spice Curry, Teddy Riley, Björk, Imogen Heap, Wyclef Jean and others >>>>MORE INFO HERE>>>>

Case Study: Learning Jazz Melodies from Recordings

Jazz musicians tend to embellish the melody a lot; sometimes they are not the best source for learning the actual melody! Frank Sinatra can be a good source to learn melodies often, since he basically sings the melody straight. Whether or not he is a “jazz musician” is beside the point; he sings the melody pretty “accurately” if you are looking to learn a melody in it’s pure state:
