All male a cappella Vocal Jazz sextet from Kiev Ukraine ManSound was formed in 1994, the brainchild of composer/arranger Vladimir Mikhnovetsky, and they immediately began creating fans. First performing at, and winning, European Jazz festivals, ManSound hit the US by storm, wowing the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and winning the coveted Ward Swingle Award. There are 15 tunes here, some favorites (admittedly the ones in English, as we can write their names here) are a hot salsa 'Mas Que Nada,' a scattish 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love,' an unbelievable arrangement of the BeeGee's 'How Deep is Your Love,' 'Spain (I Can Recall),' 'Air on G String,' 'Les Moulins de Mon Coeur' ('The Windmills of Your Mind') and 'Beyond The Sea.' ManSound has a powerful, exuberant sound, with spot-on vocal (and non-vocal) percussion that's scary good. The leads are sweet and soaring, and who cares if the singer knows exactly what he's singing? The arrangements are juicy and surprising, just listen to their fresh, bluesy take on 'How Deep is Your Love.' ManSound is the most exciting new sound in Vocal Jazz right now!
