Album Review
“With their state-of-the-art vocal harmony, all embracing repertoire and joy in true music-making. Clive Dunstall’s Voxtet expands the tradition of Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices and Take Six with skills that would have their inspirations shouting for joy. They are simply the best vocal group in Britain. Concert promoters, jazz entrepreneurs or just those who love the job done properly. Miss them at your own risk!” Digby Fairweather. – BBC Radio 2.
