" Impressive vocal jazz! "

This CD features impressive vocal jazz. On the surface, this is sheer entertainment which sounds like the group is actually in your living room. Whether the lush harmonies in "Acoustic Souvenirs" (original) or "The Man I Love" (Gershwin), the clever rhythms of "I Can Recall Spain" or the delightful "Planesong Blues" (original), recounting airport experiences, this CD is full of pleasant surprises. The arrangements are clever and not overly repetitive, so I feel comfortable listening to the whole CD at once. This CD is the long-awaited release by the Ottawa-based group. I was fortunate enough to be at the CD launch party, in which Quintessence performed selections (and even an encore) for an enthusiastic crowd which nearly doubled the seating capacity of the venue. Great job!

Four thumbs up from my husband and I. My husband listens to their CD all the time, and this is amazing considering he is a hard core classic rock fan. Six beautiful voices and what performers! They are going places and we are proud to say that we discovered this raw talent in the early conception stages. We know they are going all the way!

" Never Get Enough of their Sound "

Listening to Quintessence is a true joy for me. Their incredible sense of pitch and extremely accurate rhythms, overlying an unquestionable steady pulse gives me a great feeling of auditory security. The individuals in this group sing together for the common blended sound. No one takes a "personal trip" on their own importance. How refreshing. Whether on this CD or in person, I can never get enough of their sound.
