Elisha sings w/ TAMUK Jazz Choir - It Don't Mean A Thing - Swingle Singers Version

[thelonearranger1]

This is a very difficult arrangement, and this is an excellent performance. I have a recording of it done by the Axidentals.

[melbisima123]

Looove it!!!

[bwayjangirl92]

One of my favorite vocal jazz pieces

[cayvi100]

go dr. cruse!!!!!!!!!!

[cccstream]

Hey, I know that bass. He is very good, but his part is not coming through at all. So top heavy, but I like it.

[cccstream]

Very nice.

[mutiplescoregasms]

I have any way of getting me this music, I will know there is really a god out there.

[muziquebox]

Who did this arrangement?!?!

[dkfhs89]

This particular arrangement is done by 'The Real Group'. The Real Group is an amazing swedish a cappella, but they sing a lot of english songs as well. If you want to check out how great they are, just search them on youtube. Hope it helped.

[muziquebox]

The Real Group is one of my FAVORITE a capella groups! Thanks! I had no idea they did this arrangement....

[boblandry94]

[GaryGManDMaule]

LC.

[laciesisk]

Nice! I didn't know you went to Tamuk. I marched on their football field in Nov. 2004 during the NCAA div, 2 playoff game. I loved how the stadium was surrounded by palm trees!

[shay341]

i didnt know listening to jazz could be so fun i like it, it's quite soothing

[SIC4lyfe]

they really did it as good as New York Voices!

[drumlinerobertson]

Absolutely phenomenal! Best soprano I've ever heard! Very enthusiastic, dynamic, and articulated group! Incredible. I've like to hear some more of you guys on YouTube

[dreamalot106]

thats so cool!

Kate

[neida226]

me and my school mate make a vocal group like this...

but when i saw this video...

it makes my group like a crap.

hhhaa. love it!

[dpunero]

Very good ... thats was wonderful

[josejoeyolivarez]

omg is that in jones auditiorium? oh dear. i miss tamuk already.

[NYCBG]

Great, guys!

[MaripositadelCoroxx8]

You listed all of my favorite Jazz groups in your description. This is a great performance. An incredibly hard song, you guys pulled it off beautifully. And your high notes sounded effortless, as always.

[emmejayehm]

wow... crazy cool

[volcomrboyaol]

sounds really great but i think our jazz choir did it better

[Allaboutanne]

OK - this is very neat. Your soprano is on top, and the alto is okay at times. But generally speaking, your harmonies could have sounded better. One thing I have to say though, is that you all seem like you're having spasms on the stage and, unfortunately, it ruins the general impression. Jesus, guys, it tears me apart that you all look like it hurts :o((((((

[Solkef]

ok... on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best I hever heared, you guy's are a 25! ...

I ... wow...

can't say more than that... gonna listen to it again :D

[penspeaks]

tHIS IS SOOOOOOOOO NEAT!

[phillipcast]

Wow! :O I want to sing like that! :D

[mattoucutie8]

theres a guy..looks like hes not even singing??

[ElishaJordan]

heh.. you are probably referring to our bass (4rth person from the left). Our soundman had him turned WAY too far down. In fact, the whole balance is a little off. There's nothing we could do about that on stage, so we just sang it the best we could.. thanks for watching! ~Ej

[lovie2000]

Is that you in the middle Elisha.....I can't see that good it is kind of blurry....

[ElishaJordan]

yes lovie.. that's me in the middle! Sorry for the bad quality.. it came from an old video tape. Thanks for watching girl :) ~Ej

[mattoucutie8]

AMAZINNGG..!!

[drumact8]

how did they get this arrangement? It's not published

[ElishaJordan]

it must have been published at some point because we had music for it.. this was a while back. I think they must have just stopped publishing it. I'm still trying to find my copy if I saved it. Also, the intro wasn't published, but I learned that by ear to teach to the other guys.. the published version had the slower alternate intro that the real group does.. thanks for listening!

[drumact8]

do you know of any way to get this arrangement? I'll pay for it if need be.

[gfunk49]

too much ladies voice on this one. can barely hear the guys, and can barely make out the harmony. and singing at that high speed, it turns into mush.

[muffinfoot]

Hmm - Can anybody tell me whose arrangement this is? I've looked around a fair bit and can't find it anywhere.

[cpc2g]

It's the Real Group's Arrangement

[darmek2001]

Awesome.

[jinsinginA]

awesome!!! I'm currently practicing this song with my a cappella team, and it's extremely challenging~ what you've done is just 'wow'~~~

[afropunk186]

1:55 is soo good

[2001urchm]

just at the end there, with the crowd screeming, thats how i feel, completely amazing!

[icansingtoo]

Take's TRUE warriors to take on a REAL GROUP arrangement....and do it well!!

Good job!!

[adorejmj]

The Alto was too loud.... the guys were tooooo soft.

[rawREN]

"The Alto was too loud.... the guys were tooooo soft."

It's hard to say that for sure with a non-professional, home recording. The high end often ends up being overpowering in recording like this, without good equalization.

[ElishaJordan]

i think we were having some technical problems with the soundboard. I know you can barely hear our poor bass, and the guys overall are definitely mixed lower. They probably had them turned down too much.. nothing we could do about that! Ty for watching! ~Ej

[bassdude9]

Very well done - it's quite a challenge to do The Real Group arrangement, but you certainly did it nicely!

[PockASqueeno]

Wow, that was awesome! I've heard the original version of that sung by the Real Group. Y'all aren't quite as good as the Real Group, of course, but you're getting there! And you're voice is amazing! I can't believe you can sing that freakin' high! The only time I've ever heard anyone sing any higher than you is in "'Round Midnight" by the New York Voices (which is by the way my favorite jazz group also!).

[chrsod]

Super, it was Awesome!!! And everything with no instrumental.

/Chris (from Sweden)

[blkbishop112]

I love the Parts.

[MollieJanezLuvFest]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

[Southernmom1983]

Beautiful!! I LOVE to see videos like this! I hope you'll share more! :-D

[JeriLynnKarr]

GRRRRR, my last dang comment disappeared, BLUH! It was much wittier than this.....

I know exactly what you mean, our college music program is trying to rebuild after years of nothing. I am in the choir this semester and there are FIVE of us!!!

People who haven't ever done this kind of performing, group harmony, haven't a clue that work it involves.

I am diggin' ya baby............
