A Christmas album you’ll want to return to year after year, from
the fabulous Swingle Singers
There are few music lovers in this world who haven’t heard heard
the name the Swingle Singers. Since the release of their ground - breaking
debut album Jazz Sebastien Bach in 1963, this eight-voice a cappella group
has performed in every continent and in the world’s most famous stages,
sustaining over four decades a level of international popularity beyond
the dreams of its founder, American born Ward Swingle. The current line-up
of young, gorgeous and talented singers is, of course, several
incarnations of “Swingles” younger than the original team. Ward
Swingle affectionately refers to them as his “grandchildren”. What
defines this unique group is not the personnel, nor even the choice of
music, but the intimate, close microphone, quasi-instrumental sound with
which they stunned the world all those years ago. They continue to do so
today both live and in the studio. unwrapped will help to make Christmas
an even more special occasion, Swingles-style
