Review by Yves Besnard
The Swingle Singers' album Jazz Sebastian Bach is a unique and impressive fusion of classical and jazz music. The group's ability to seamlessly blend these two genres is a testament to their exceptional musical talent and creativity.
The album features a variety of Bach's classic compositions, including "Prelude in F Minor" and "Fugue in D Minor," reimagined with jazz-inspired arrangements and vocal harmonies. The Swingle Singers' rendition of these pieces is both refreshing and captivating, showcasing their ability to infuse new life into timeless works of art.
The group's vocal prowess is on full display throughout the album, with each member contributing to the complex and intricate harmonies that make up their signature sound. The use of scat singing and vocal percussion adds an extra layer of depth to the music, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience.

I truly love it when talented artists can adapt a classical (er, baroque) piece into a truly new style, while remaining 100% true to the original. Bach himself would hear this as a faithful rendition of his composition!
sjcummins215
This is perhaps the best album ever produced/ It is now 50 years old and remains one of my most favorite pieces of music, and I like lots of different types!

When I was in high school in the 60s, I bought a Swingle Singers album and fell in love with their sound!! I’ve been wishing I could hear them again, and today, November 15, 2019, I find they’ve been here on YouTube all along!!! Heavenly!!
