5.0 out of 5 stars smooth easy listening, February 1, 2000

By A Customer

A fantastic distillation of late 60s/early 70s easy listening jazz. Apparently their only album, the Third Wave was a vocal quintet of American Philippino teenage girls, and their sound is both pure and ingenuous. Tracks like "Stormy" and "Chloe" are thunderous, and even the obligatory (for the time) Beatles cover is interesting. Recommended, but most of the highlights appear on the recent "Snowflakes" compilation, which also has better sound quality than this rerelease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenom vocal Jazz harmonies!, March 27, 2001

By	ROBBIE KWOCK (San Francisco, CA.) - See all my reviews

This is an incredible Jazz vocal group from a musical family of Jazz musicians residing from Northern California. Recorded in the 60's, backed by the George Duke Trio/Orchestrations, this is as natural and swinging as Jazz vocal groups come. Their phrasing, harmony,intonation and background of the Jazz idiom will astound even the most purist Jazz listeners. Listen to these sisters sing and you'll set new standards for your enjoyment of Jazz or any vocal ensemble!
