Julia and I are very happy to have read an extensive blog post by Peter Hum of The Ottawa Citizen, reviewing our CD Vertical Voices: The Music of Maria Schneider in depth.  I definitely recommend reading the whole thing, but if you're in a hurry, here are some notable quotes:

• Dollison and Marsh...have been successful beyond imagining in transporting the lush sweep and deep emotion of Schneider's music into their fascinating, boldly beautiful vocal world.
• Although the recording was a feat of recording wizardry...the final work sounds remarkably direct and natural, affording a striking new perspective on Schneider's work.
• There's not a false note to be heard from Dollison and Marsh, and their improvised solos have the depth, ingenuity and impact of the comparable playing by Schneider's instrumentalists.
• I felt [a] shudder of anticipation when Marsh began singing his solo on "Hang Gliding," and was hit by a subsequent emotional wave as his solo peaked and the vocal chorus kicked in behind him. I became kind of verklempt, and had to stop listening in the newsroom because I didn't want my colleagues looking at me funny.
• "Vertical Voices is simply the strongest affirmation of the power of jazz singing that I've heard in a long, long time.
• ...in my perfect world, "Vertical Voices" ... would be as successful as any of the much more commercial and bland vocal CDs that routinely top the jazz charts...
