Testimonials
Our music has a profound impact on those who hear it. Here are some examples of things we've heard:
Ward Swingle (Founder, The Swingle Singers)
"I've received the three DVD's you sent, and I've listened to them with great pleasure. The sound is lovely, the rhythm section swings well, and the overall feeling is that everyone is having a good time. Jim, you've done a fine job, and I congratulate everyone involved."
Scott Davis (Audience Member)
"I wasn't sure what to expect when first seeing The Singers Elite Vocal Big Band. It is truly amazing to hear the ensemble of voices and how well they represent the instruments they replace. This group is the perfect combination of ingenuity and talent. My only regret is that I don't live in the Los Angeles area; these singers look like they are having the time of their lives, and my wife and I would have both loved to be a part of such a great musical team."
Marc Shaiman (Film & Broadway composer, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award winner)
"Heavenly!"
Ron Harris (composer, arranger, music director, publisher)
"I watched your YouTube medley videos and they are fabulous sounding. I don't see how they could be better. They are A+++. If that music were a building, it would be a registered historical landmark, for sure."
Bob Ralston (pianist, organist, arranger on The Lawrence Welk TV Show)
"If you are a fan of the hits of the Big Band era, you've got to check out the Singers Elite Vocal Big Band. You'll be blown away, as I was, to hear these beloved old classic instrumentals magically recreated with VOCALISTS! Kudos to musical genius Jim Raycroft for bringing it all together and giving the world such a treat. The arrangements and performances are spot on, top-draw, first-class, A-1, couldn't be better! Truly delightful."
And some comments from our viewers on YouTube...
"LOL ... I'm watching and listening AGAIN!!! Yep .... AWESOME ... just like I said! I guess you could call me HOOKED!"

"YUM! YUM! Juicy sounds. More PLEASE!"
"I LOVE this!! Fantastic work guys!"
"Man, this is good!"
"Great concept, beautifully executed. Terrific singers, and a really cool sound with voices on all the horn & string parts. Swings great. Bravo!"
