Formed in the late 1980s by college mates, the Grammy-winning New York Voices has evolved into a mature and dexterous quartet, whose individual talents are effectively suited for tight, jazzy vocal stylings in the tradition of Manhattan Transfer. Following up their tribute to Paul Simon, the Voices team this outing with a high-flying band of piano and horns, revisiting a popular catalogue of material from the Swing Era and post-WWII big bands. Founder, sax player, and vocalist Darmon Meader provides the contemporized arrangement framework within which the singers share lead duties, showboat on flying scat breaks, and together weave shiny slick harmonies to rival those of their classic counterparts. Standouts include a lovely "Stardust," Ray Charles's "Hallelujah, I Love Her So," and the rousing Louis Prima title cut. -- Paige La Grone
