Album Description

PRAIRIE JAZZ is a collection of a cappella cowboy and mountain songs based on historical American music (plus a few strays). These songs, old as rope, are filtered through jazz-based harmonies and four city singers, with great love and respect.

Once more, without feeling.......2002-12-06

Have you ever been at a High School music concert? The sort where the hip young choir director delivers all sorts of completely inappropriate arrangements, like an acapella madrigal group doing selections from "Tommy"? If so, you have a slight inkling of what this album is like. It's sort of "The Lennon Sisters Tribute to Cowboy Music"... with a few bizarre attempts at other genres as well.

Now these are four very good voices, no doubt about that. And the classic high school SATB arrangments are competantly done. But the choice of music and the delivery borders on the bizarre. The pinnicle (or perhaps the debacle) of the album, for me, was their attempt to do Jim Pepper's great jazz classic "Witchi Tai To". Have you ever heard the Chordette's 1955 recording of "Mister Sandman"? That's the first thing I thought of when I heard this. Some performances just transcend ordinary judgments of good and bad.

Beautiful and Unique.......2001-12-04

The harmonies on this albun are incredible! I have never heard american folk music and jazz blended before, and the delicate, intricate vocals on the tunes make even the standards sound totally new. I love this album!
