PMB163: In Close Harmony – At Least 50 Years of the Swingle Singers (The Swingle Singers, Russ Garcia, The Walter Schumann Singers, The King’s Singers, The Singers Unlimited, The Mike Sammes Singers, The Swingle Singers with The Modern Jazz Quartet, The Free Design, The Hi-Lo’s)

PMB163 In Close Harmony - At Least 50 Years of the Swingle SingersWe missed an important anniversary last year as 2013 was the 50th anniversary of the release of the first album by that great vocalese group, The Swingle Singers, who we’ve played on the show many times over the years. So we thought it was high time to celebrate this marvellous musical milestone by having a show exploring not only the work of les Swingles but also some of our other favourite vocal groups.

So in addition to several tracks by the Swingle Singers we also have tracks from Russ Garcia and the Walter Schumann Singers, The King’s Singers, The Singers Unlimited, The Mike Sammes Singers, The Free Design and The Hi-Lo’s.
