The Oxford Gargoyles

**The Oxford Gargoyles** are a vibrant student-led a cappella group from the University of Oxford, known for their slick jazz harmonies and dynamic performances. Founded in the early 1990s, this vocal ensemble blends classic jazz standards, pop reimaginations, and original arrangements, often infused with theatrical flair. Their recent releases—like the cozy *Christmas in L.A. (Live)*, the playful *Billie Bossa Nova (Live)*, and the nostalgic *Feed the Birds*—showcase their versatility, mixing live energy, holiday cheer, and inventive takes on familiar tunes. With nods to jazz legends and modern hits, they’ve carved out a niche for feel-good vocal jazz, performing at festivals, competitions (they’ve snagged awards at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella), and even charity events. Whether covering Stevie Wonder’s *Isn’t She Lovely* or crafting quirky originals like *My Narrow Man*, the Gargoyles deliver tight harmonies and infectious enthusiasm, keeping their sound fresh and fun.
