Feat. Sanford Moore, Ginger Commodore, Connie Evingson, Dennis Spears, and Ashley CommodoreMoore By Four quickly established themselves as a fixture on the Twin Cities music scene upon their 1986 inception. There, they started out at Ruby’s Cabaret in Minneapolis. The group performed sold-out concerts at the Guthrie and Fitzgerald Theaters and went on to tour Europe and Japan. Then, they shared concert billing with Harry Connick, Jr., Joe Williams, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan and Dizzy Gillespie. Further, they performed at concert halls and jazz festivals around the world. They’ve sung for the U.S. Olympic Committee, the Super Bowl, the Minnesota Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves. Also, former President and Mrs. Clinton, Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev, Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel, the King and Queen of Sweden. Additionally, they’ve played countless special events, benefits, corporate functions, colleges and universities, concert halls and festivals in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
The harmonies put forth by the four vocalists immediately invoke thoughts of Manhattan Transfer. They do this with their precise vocal control and polish, pulsating rhythms and innovative arrangements. However, the individuals’ grounding in gospel, jazz, pop and theater provides a far broader range to the group’s musical offerings.
The group’s repertoire, arranged by Director Sanford Moore, originally specialized in music from the swing era. Moreover, it has broadened to also include contemporary jazz, original compositions and new arrangements of great standards. They pull tunes from Broadway, Hollywood and the Cotton Club period. Then, they perform these songs in what has become known as the signature style of Moore By Four.
