This is an amazingly rich exploration of songs and styles across the vocal jazz-barbershop spectrum. Acoustix is accompanied on five of the 13 tracks (mostly by The Dallas Jazz Orchestra) as the quartet pays tribute to the Four Freshmen on tunes such as "Day By Day" and "Poinciana." There's great barbershop, in which they open up the heavens on tunes such as the Frank Sinatra tribute "All The Way." There are a few jazz a cappella tunes: lush "The Nearness of You" and their own Gene Puerling arrangement (the badge of honor for any great a cappella group) with Puerling's signature harmonic adventure gracing "Unforgettable." There are also a few arrangements that sit in between b-shop and jazz - "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and "Orange Colored Sky." The CD concludes with a "Simon and Garfunkel Montage," a pop-barbershop synthesis that has to be heard to be believed. Bravo! (46:39 1998)
