Naturally 7: Wall of Sound



Spet brez besed ...
Ampak obljubim, da kmalu napoči čas besednih igrarij. Do takrat pa uživajte v vokalnih igrarijah mojih prijateljev N7!

V vednost:
Že kar nekaj časa sedmerica koncertira daleč od nas - po Ameriki, Kanadi, v kratkem se odpravljajo se v Avstralijo. V Evropi se bodo v tem času (do konca leta) pojavili samo nekajkrat. Mi Slovenceljni pa imamo veliko srečo, saj se bodo 11.7. za trenutek ustavili v Grazu v sklopu a cappella festivala Vokal Total. Za tiste, ki ste jih poslušali v Orpheumu ali v Slov. Konjicah, prostor bo tokrat omogočal še nekaj stopničk boljše koncertne razmere - no, sam prostor je sicer dokaj nepomemben dejavnik pri tem, da so N7 zakon!!

New Take 6 recordings on the horizon...

Take 6 signs with Heads Up International to release a yet to be titled album of jazz standards and other original recordings by late summer...
Heads Up International, one of the world's premier crossover jazz labels, has signed Take 6 to record and release an album of jazz standards and original recordings in the late fall of this year (2008). Heads Up President and Founder, Dave Love says " Take 6 is arguably the greatest a cappella jazz group of all time. For the past twenty years they've proved their vocal mastery in a variety of genres and they've worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and R&B. Musically and spiritually, they've enriched the lives of every person they've come in contact with. We are excited and very proud to count them among the Heads Up ranks."

The group has set the bar high for their Heads Up debut, which will include guest appearances. "While we sing lyrics that always exemplify our spiritual and moral convictions, what we really are at the core is a jazz vocal group,"
says member David Thomas. "So we've decided to do an album of jazz standards, and make it the vocal jazz album for all time."

Čim najdem besedo, dve, jo (oz. ju) napišem.
