Title: Engrossing.
Product review: Tight vocals, beautiful tunes, a lot of talentput to wonderful fruition. It's rare to run intoa compilation of 15 songs where each pleasantlycontributes something new and refreshing. Therecorded repertoire ranges from remakes of showtunes(Summertime) to wild skatting (Everybody's Bopping)with ease, comfort and enviable vocal prowess.Manhattan Transfer must have been inspired bythis trio, as the style does have similarities.LHR are as polished, but their expression is lessinfluenced by musical styles that did't existyet, resulting in performances that are truer tovocalisms with greater presence and feeling.The original recording is dated, but the qualityof the remastering is generally acceptable, witha bit of hiss here and there--don't let that keepyou from enjoying this find.
