Description
"Schwing! Is an outstanding demonstration of the precision and the energy of the renowned chorus, this time focussing on swing. Bertrand GrÃ¶ger, the ensemble's founder and director, leads his internationally awarded group through twelve custom-made arrangements which are truly up-to-date and yet conscious of their musical traditions. Schwing! Sees the Jazzchor performing real 1940's Swing and â€“ equally convincing â€“ Miles Davis' intelligent cool-jazz, a grand Beatles' ballad and an intimate jewel of Norwegian singer-songwriting. And yet, it all swings. An amazing line-up of celebrity guest artists shows up on the new album, including Kirby Shaw, Bob Stoloff, Roger Treece and noted jazz singer CÃ©cile Verny. Having performed mostly a cappella over the last few years, on Schwing! The Jazzchor Freiburg and the featured soloists are brilliantly accompanied by a classic jazz trio of piano, double bass and drums. Schwing is a convincing top-level recording; in the CD's liner notes Thierry Lalo (Les Voice Messengers) explicitly praises â€¦the quality of the arrangements, the talent of the guest soloists and the excellent intonation, precision and energy of the choir itselfâ€¦. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that Schwing!â€¦ Line-up: Jazzchor Freiburg featuring: Kirby Shaw Roger Treece CÃ©cile Verny Oliver Gies Tokunbo Bob Stoloff Myriam West Bettina Ntimpirangeza Michaela Nagel"
