The 25 women ('The Girls' in the liner notes), and 20 'Boys' in the LA Jazz Choir, directed by Gerald Eskelin is a smorgasbord of tempting jazz treats. There are liberal helpings of straight-ahead big-band meat-and-potato hits ('Tuxedo Junction,' 'Love Is A Joy,' 'The Jersey Bounce); entrees with a light latin dressing ('I Could Write A Book,' 'Dream On,' 'What Is This Thing Called Love'); more exotic tastes ('Sboguvane,' 'Don's Song'); something light (Jim, Jam, Jump, Sweet Georgia Brown); something with a little scat ('Jumpin' With Symphony Sid,' 'Everybody's Boppin'') and cool with a velvety sauce ('Blue In Green'). 'from all sides' is a saucy, spirited joy from one of the best Jazz choirs in the world! All accompanied, from a small jazz ensemble to a full big band.
