“No jazz vocal group in the 20th century cast a longer shadow than Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. But all their qualities are echoed in the work of The Royal Bopsters. Some of the most important figures in vocalese history appear as guests on the album: the pioneering Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross; the legendary bop singer/songwriter and Schoolhouse Rock! creator Bob Dorough; their fellow NEA Master, Sheila Jordan; and six-time GRAMMY®-nominee Mark Murphy, who can be heard in fine form on four tracks.”
– Downbeat
“A magnum opus of jazz and song.”
– Michael Bourne, WBGO Radio
The Royal Bopsters – recognized as one of the top jazz vocal groups of our times by Downbeat, JazzTimes, The Bistro Awards and Jazz Journalists Awards – cap off their successful 10th Anniversary year with a reissue of their sensational 2015 debut album The Royal Bopsters Project, reviewed by JazzTimes as ‘priceless’ and a ‘landmark.’
Their 2015 debut sensationally launched the group to fame when it first came out, and now, as four of five special guests and Bopster co-founder Holli Ross are, sadly, no longer with us, this vocalese touchstone has become all the more precious.
