i expected a lot more for a scat out of a yale group...
the few high falsetto attemps failed as well.

that being said...this is absolutely incredible and the soloist is actually EXCELLENT; but those parts aforementioned couldn't be ignored...

strange blend of jazz and opera. i say that being fully aware of the fact that "summertime" was originally written for the opera Porgy & Bess. But if you're gonna call it jazz, and do a jazz-ish arrangement, and scat, you need to do it in the jazz idiom, not the classical idiom. tone all around was just 10,000% too rounded. and the scatting was impressive in terms of how fast he was able to make his mouth move, but his form was too stale. it plateau'd right at the beginning.
just my opinion.

the background is great. the soloist has a great a voice, but he's too stiff. actually, pretty much everyone is. it's jazz. relax. the talent in this group is fantastic, though. :)
