Dollison and Marsh: Vertical Voices: The Music of Maria Schneider
by Larry Taylor
Maria Schneider's orchestral music has been described as evocative, majestic, magical, heart-stoppingly gorgeous and beyond categorization. Therefore, it was with trepidation that vocalists Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh approached Schneider with the concept of using their voices, with the aid of multi-tracking studio techniques, to create the sound of her orchestra. They would wordlessly sing the ...
Jacksonville: Big City, Big Band, Big Plans
by Jack Bowers
Almost everyone who's even mildly interested knows that the big band scene in the US isn't what it used to be. On the other hand, the big bands aren't yet dead, as some alarmists have claimed, or even on life support. Thanks in part to college and armed services programs, there are perhaps as many or ...

New York Voices: A Day Like This
by Woodrow Wilkins
At first listen, the New York Voices may bring to mind another two-man, two-woman quartet: The Manhattan Transfer. Both groups harmonize beautifully, and their members take turns as lead vocalist. However, the Transfer is known mostly for vocalization--adding lyrics to previously recorded instrumental songs. New York Voices also do that, but the group covers more songs ...
New York Voices: A Day Like This
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si dirà: tutta colpa dei Manhattan Transfer se in giro ci sono ancora gruppi di vocalese pronti a cantarcele a cappella o a dialogare con quello o quell’altro genere che sia pop, rock, jazz o bossa. Vizietti per solo voci, acrobazie e armonizzazioni lisce come il velluto e piene di quelle atmosfere radical chic che non ...

New York Voices: Sing! Sing! Sing!
by Jim Santella
A big band made up of working New York musicians accompanies this vocal quartet in its retro look at the swing era. Buoyant lyrics and scat singing color the album with characteristic charm. It's the kind of patriotic, fun-loving feeling that followed The Andrews Sisters during World War II. Darmon Meader's vocal arrangements place the four ...

After recording a lively and well-received series of albums on GRP and then RCA Victor, New York Voices now is recording on Concord. Consistent with that label's tradition for straight-ahead jazz and with the New York Voices' animated interpretations of standards--as well as unpredictable projects like the songs of Paul Simon-- Sing! Sing! Sing! merges both ...
