Moody’s Mood & Beyond: Celebrating King Pleasure
DATE: Friday 5/8/26 TIME: 6:00pm - 7:30pm
Location: Charles Knox Smith Hall, 9201 Germantown Avenue
Emerging in the 1950s, vocalese transformed the human voice into an instrument, mirroring the phrasing and improvisational spirit of the saxophone. Pioneered by artists like King Pleasure, the style brought a fresh, inventive dimension to jazz vocals. TCIII brings this distinctive sound to life with classics such as “Moody’s Mood for Love” and “Red Top.”
