THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS JAZZ SINGERS "The comfort of the singers reflected extensive preparation... The audience enjoyed a first-class musical treat!" "The ensemble was quite splendid, exactly what I would expect to hear stepping into a smoky jazz club..." "Once I heard them I was snared and enjoyed every number, every minute, all the way to the end. What a range of styles and approaches and energy!" "What an enjoyable performance! There was so much variety of styles..." "The ensemble sang with remarkable clarity and balance..."
