Jazz CDs

Vocal jazz is the place to find some of the lushest harmonies on the planet. Some ensembles ply the jazz-pop spectrum, while others combine tight vocals with instrumental ensembles... yeah, not a cappella, but great vocal harmonies, so just chill and enjoy. Note: Not ALL the CDs listed here are a cappella, so read reviews carefully and check out the sound files before you buy. We're not purists, by any means - but we do appreciate great vocal harmony, in all its forms!
