5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC, October 15, 2001
By R. Penola (NYC, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This album is one of those rare gems that ages like fine wine. The originality in both the selections and the arrangements are infused with a real kick -- and an intense affection for the music. Birdland is one of those wildly perfect records that can send you into a dizzy euphoria upon every listening. Even the dated Twilight Tone still has power. Buy it and love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vocal amazement, September 27, 2000
By A Customer
Nothing better for those who enjoy vocal thrills and originality. Tight and cool. Crisp and smooth. The tones move you to a new dimension....Hearing the CD takes me back to 1979...late nights listening to my stereo with headphones long after my parents had demanded I go to bed! Now, as a much "older child," I appreciate the music more than ever and know that it's one of the best-kept secrets!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of my all-time favorites, May 4, 2000
By "shofar" (Kissimmee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This is one of my all-time favorite albums by one of my all-time favorite vocal groups. The vast array of vocal technique and variety of styles is inspiring. As a music teacher, when I am looking for something to demonstrate a wide variety of vocal techniques, I need go no further than this CD.
