The Swingle Singers burst on to the Jazz scene in 1963 with their groundbreaking album, Jazz Sebastian Bach. This release was awarded the best Jazz Vocal Performance by Downbeat Magazine. The group consisted of two sopranos, two altos, two tenors, and two basses. All adaptions and arrangements by group leader and tenor, Ward Swingle. Their musicale template was predicated on pitch perfect wordless A Capella vocals over a swinging bass and drums rhythm section. Mood Swings is a legacy album in more ways than one. While Ward Swingle is the musicale director of the group, which still consists of two sopranos, altos, tenors,and basses, over bass and drums,the vocals are now sung by a new generation of young singers, under the direction of soprano Joanna Forbes. This 2003 release celebrates the 40th anniversary of their debut album. The vocals are no longer wordless on this album of jazz standards but they still maintain the legacy of what is now known as "Swingle Singing". This technique employes the expected extraordinary vocal virtuosity, leavened with humour, gaiety, tenderness, and swing. It doesn't get any better than this. The standout track is the Miles Davis tune, So What, with lyrics by Eddie Jefferson. Another treat is the closing track, Soul Bossa Nova, by Quincy Jones. With 16 masterful performances, this album is a desert island disc for any fan of jazz singing. As I said earlier, it doesn't get any better than this!
