Urban Voices, three men and two women from Switzerland, have brought us a strikingly impressive debut jazz CD here. Much of the content is composed by members of the group and the arrangements, as intricate and complex as those of a state-of-the-art instrumental band, tailor-made to fit the singers. Among the vocal percussion sounds is the sharp sound of a hi hat, giving UV a trademark jazz sound, to go with some of the best vocal 'horns' we've heard. 12 songs: 'City Lights,' 'How Insensitive,' the title tune, 'When I Fall In Love,' 'On The Run,' 'The Sky so High,' 'En Eranjuez Con Tu Amor,' 'Lullaby,' 'Superheroes,' 'Almost There,' 'My Foolish Heart' and 'WYSIWYG--DJ Micri Remix.' 'The Gang' shows Urban Voices to be, seemingly effortlessly, in the company of such greats as Manhattan Transfer, the NY Voices and Vox One. And like Vox One's 'Chameleon,' you'll find yourself listening to it again and again to truly appreciate what the singers are doing. Amazing and highly recommended! Listen to The Gang in RealAudio. |
