ok, so maybe the lead singer wasn't quite warmed-up; but overall, it's great. i'm still amazed that people can sing & dance at the same time, & they aren't great at this, but they do tour internationally~ good work! isn't that trombone he's playin'? ;)
These folks are pretty good, however, bobby McFerren can certainly voice a better "trumpet" than that guy who was flat and somewhat inconsistent. Certainly not the best, I would suggest everyone check out Nero Per Caso, little bit more modern. And Flight of the Bumble Bee? What the hell is that? I like singing not novelty gymnastic circus music.
They're way better then Voca people... They are in a group that was a pioneer in acapela jazz! VocaPeople usually dub things... It's nothing compared to Swingle Singers, Singers Unlimited, Take6...
No, you're not the only one. But it's one of those things that comes with singing un accompanied, just got to accept that it's going to happen and appreciate that it holds together regardless.
I like to think it gives this medium of performance character too!

If you worry about intonation you will never hear music

If you don't worry about intonation, there ain't music but a bunch of 6th graders trying to sing who suck.

Good work, Tobi!
I once played the "Little Shop of Horrors" with him a long time ago in Kirchzarten. He was a great Audrey II and I played Seymour :)

Swingle Singers are the greatest!! They are all very nice - met Ward Swingle too. Great musicians.
