*****

New York Voices (NYV) was born in the mid-1980s at upstate New York’s Ithaca College. They signed with GRP in 1989 and quickly made their first recording, New York Voices, a mix of acoustic and electric, traditional and crossover jazz. They declared their new identity with 1997’s New York Voices Sing the Songs of Paul Simon. With the dawn of the 21st century, NYV increased its currency in the jazz world via collaborations with institutions such as the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito d’Rivera, and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band.

"After 38 years of recording, touring and living our musical lives together, we are writing our final chapter. At the end of 2026, we are hanging up our microphones and waltzing into other solo endeavors that have been ruminating and retiring our beloved musical family.”
