From www.singers.com:
"With a tracklist that contains mostly jazz, blues and standards, this wasnıt
what we expected from a collegiate group, but when we began to listen, our
turntables lit up! This may be the best Whiffs recording ever! Their
musicianship is of professional caliber, and there is genuine warmth and emotion
that is apparent in the performances these guys take this stuff seriously,
itıs clear. The control and sensitivity, for example, of the sentimental
"September Song," is exactly whatıs called for and the arrangement doesnıt
push, but uses rests to add drama. The "New Hymn" defies categorization
contemporary, complex, cross-pollinated by several styles. On occasion the group
downsizes to accommodate a four-part arrangement, such as "My Cutieıs Due"
(barbershop), and "Laura" (vocal jazz). Truly impressive and this is what the
Whiffenpoofs do in their spare time!
