| A 5-voice ensemble of vocalists is contrasted with a ripieno group of twice as many voices. |
| They went through five drummers, six bassists, four keyboard players, four lead vocalists, but only one lead guitarist, quite an achievement. |
| Here, most of the music is exultant and exhilarating, full of polyrhythms that inspire the vocalists to slip and slide over the beats. |
| While the vocalists have an ear for a catchy turn of phrase, there isn't much substance to back it up. |
| The sound is tight, polished and overall very slick, right down to the backing vocalists. |
| In each case, the female vocalists is up front, and the bed of multiplicitous beats incorporates downtempo, acid jazz, nu jazz and house. |
