New York Voices is a vocal jazz group founded in 1987 by Peter Eldridge, Caprice Fox, Sara Krieger, Darmon Meader, and Kim Nazarian. All except Krieger were members of an alumni group from Ithaca College that toured Europe in 1986. They began performing as the New York Voices in 1988 and issued their self-titled debut album in 1989. Krieger left in 1992 and was replaced by Lauren Kinhan. After Fox's departure, the group became a quartet. Their discography includes the albums Hearts of Fire (1991), What's Inside (1993), New York Voices Sing the Songs of Paul Simon (1998), and Sing! Sing! Sing! (2001). The ensemble also released Brazilian Dreams (2002) with Paquito D'Rivera and Claudio Roditi, as well as Meeting of Minds (2018) with the Bob Mintzer Big Band. The group collaborated with various artists, including classical soprano Renee Fleming, and released recordings under labels that include GRP, RCA Victor, Concord Jazz, MCG Jazz, Five Cent, and Origin.
