Since recommending "All Together" last Friday, I've been doing a deeper dive into various Novi Singers selections. Their version of the jazz standard, "Satin Doll," stands out to me. I hear elements of The Manhattan Transfer, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, and especially The Swingle Singers in the group's vocals. Although Duke Ellington's various renditions will always take precedence for me, I'm sure I'll return to the impressive scat-style vocals of Novi Singers several more times.
