About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The popular men's chorus Chanticleer have a secret weapon in their ranks: countertenor Joseph Jennings, a church-raised gospel arranger. Jennings takes the reins on this stirring exploration of traditional African-American spirituals and gospel numbers, and it's another successful venture for this wildly talented ensemble. Having made their name in Renaissance music and jazz, it's not altogether a given that the men of Chanticleer could let loose in Holy Ghost fervor. But, aided by Bishop Yvette Flunder, they do. Jennings' imaginative arranging interprets the skin-tight harmonizing of the gospel quartet for his 13-voice ensemble, and the results are explosive -- not the least on the opener, "Jesus Hits Like an Atom Bomb" and the storm of harmony that ensues on "Didn't It Rain." More predictably, Chanticleer's bell-like tones get right to the heart of classic spirituals such as "Motherless Child" and "Amazing Grace." Jennings' own "Be Still and Know That I'm God" closes the set on a reverent note. Mark Schwartz, Barnes & Noble

August 14, 2006: Very talented people. However, the sound and style is rigid and souless. Does not do these great songs justice.
