Voce is San Luis Obispo, CA's Cuesta College's finest Vocal Jazz 9 mixed-voice ensemble, and 'Timepieces' is recorded with a hot five-man student Jazz band. Formed in 1981, Voce has won an Outstanding Performance Award from DownBeat, first place at the 1998 Reno Jazz Festival and performances at Switzerland's prestigious Montreaux Jazz Festival. There are 10 cuts on this impressive second album (their first was 2007's excellent 'Just One of Those Things'), some favorites among these sometimes accompanied pieces are Michel LeGrand's 'I Will Wait for You,' Anders Edenroth's a cappella 'The Grass Grows Greener,' the mellow 'Something 'bout Believing,' George & Ira Gershwin's classic 'Summertime,' Thad Jones' moody a cappella 'Somna Mitt Barn,' a sweet a cappella adaption of Tchaikovsky's 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' and Imogen Heap's wonderfully harmonic a cappella 'Hide and Seek.' Voce has a beautiful sound, creative arrangements, and we loved 'Timepieces!'
