52nd Street "Scrapple to the Apple" CD
★Digitally remastered in 2020
The only work left by this male-female vocal duo in 1985! A wonderful vocal album filled with the joy of jazz and vibrant swing!
A hidden masterpiece of scat/vocalese recorded in New York by 52nd Street, a Philadelphia-born five-piece band including male and female vocalists! As soon as their fast-paced vocal cover of the standard "My Favorite Thing" was included on P-Vine's smash hit compilation "Joyful Grooves!", it became a hot topic. Starting with the stylish bop scat of the standard "Take the A Train," the album continues with the thrilling arrangement of "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," and ends with Bob Dorough's classic "I've Got Just About Everything." It's a work full of fresh dynamism, funny excitement, and above all, swinging happiness!
