Their sound reminds the listener of such iconic vocal groups as Lambert/Hendricks/Ross and The Manhattan Transfer, but Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet has put their own distinctive signature on 4-part harmony jazz vocals with this diverse package of new music, clever lyrics, and arrangements they wrote themselves! spanning vocalese, bop, big band swing, sentimental ballads, Chicago blues, cool jazz, driving samba, lilting bossa nova, Basie-style swing, lyricized scat, and even a warm dose of harmonized R&B.

Recording information: Bias Studios, Springfield, VA.

Enceneat, Robert McBride, Holly Shockey (vocals); Steve Herberman (guitar); Chris Vadala (clarinet, alto saxophone); Leigh Pilzer (tenor saxophone, bass saxophone); Chris Walker (trumpet); Jen Krupa (trombone); Alan Blackman (piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Frank Russo (drums, percussion).
