Review: Brilliant set of a wide range of styles!Despite the title, only half the tunes have lyrics. However, the music is superb and the singing electrifying. Contemporary jazz played by a passionate octet. The thing that really impressed me was how the music builds in complexity on each track as new instruments come on board. All originals.
