About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This eclectic collection of songs encompasses jazz, bebop, swing, doo wop, rock & roll, and gospel; all are trimmed in an attractive pop texture. These 16 compositions are taken from the vocal quartet's albums, which span 12 years (1975-1987). Each selection is inviting, as all four song stylists display their individual vocal skills and admirable harmonies. Laurel Masse appears on recordings up until 1979, when Cheryl Bentyne replaced her. Other members include Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel, and Alan Paul. Craig Lytle, All Music Guide

October 26, 2009: Their unusual blend of voice and instrumental arrangements will make them jazz favorites forever. I have seen them in concert and as much as I am willing to let them try something new, I was not as happy with the new pieces as with the old. They still can wow a crowd but they need to stick to their standard sound. Love you forever.
