Product Description

CD Description

Swimming Over London is a new studio-album of jazz-inspired hits and recent commissions performed by The King s Singers, and is a follow up to their Grammy Award-winning crossover album Simple Gifts. This album covers a huge range of pop and jazz-inspired influences from old favourites (Nat King Cole s Straighten up and fly right, Arlen & Gershwin s It s a New World and Hogey Carmichael s Lazy Bones) to modern hits (Michael Bublé s Home, Jason Mraz s I m Yours and Imogen Heaps Hide and Seek). Commissions especially for the album come from Bob Chilcott, Mia Makaroff, Ysaye M. Barnwell and Roger Treece. A special King s Singers arrangement of Mika s By the time is also featured, inspired by their performance with him for the 2009 Mencap Little Noise sessions at the Union Chapel.

Underwhelming 21 Aug 2010
By Andrew Dittman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The king's singers sing at such a high level that anything less should be considered a disappointment. In general the music choice is quite shallow, the vocal jazz doesn't sound spontaneous in the least, and the pop arrangements are incredibly repetitive.

Amazing 5 Sep 2010
By Tim Reid - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This CD is a great followup to Simple Gifts. Don't think of it as a jazz album, but simply an addition to the "lighter" side of the KS's repetoir. "Angel" alone is worth the price of the CD.
