Description The Swingle Singers are eight vocalists trained in the great British choral tradition. They sing Bach as it was meant to be played: their tones crystal clear, their pitch perfect. Then they're on to jazz, then pop, then back to an early French madrigal. From Mozart they move to Duke Ellington, from Noel Coward to Gershwin - their sound effortlessly, flawlessly integrated.
