Yes, they are still the virtuosic 8-piece Grammy-winning vocal group that has made hit records and toured the world since 1963. Yes, they’re still technically astounding. But every few years new members and contemporary writers have revitalized the group. Go to their mini-residency at the Pizza Express Jazz Club and you’ll see eight young creative artists at the top of their game, committed to expanding the boundaries of a cappella music.

If you’re expecting to hear twee Bach-jazz, forget it.

They know this is a jazz club - they intend to ‘throw down’.

You’ll hear standards of jazz, rock and pop with stunning new arrangements—many by members of the group. You’ll hear hypnotic rhythms, sexy harmonies and grinding grooves. You’ll also hear stomping, shrieking and Beatboxing—mouth percussion that will massage parts of your body other vocal groups can’t reach!

You’ll also hear songs from their upcoming project “Romeo ♥ Juliet - An A Cappella Story”. Devised with American composer/producer Richard Niles, Shakespeare’s take on teen angst is remixed with new arrangements of songs from West Side Story to create a mind-blowing contemporary theatrical experience.

So come on down to Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho. You’ll be surprised at how surprised you’ll be.
