A groovy little vocal group with a swinging 50s sound – working here with some great
jazzy arrangements from trombonist Kai Winding! The style of the set prefaces Winding's pop/
jazz sides for Verve in the mid 60s – but has a sound that's somewhat similar – with lead vocals by the male/
female Axidentals group, and some trombone-based
jazzy backings that showcase Winding's horn amidst a larger brass section. There's a great poppy punch to these tunes – and the Axidentals themselves can be credited for some extremely inventive vocal arrangements at times – in styles that go way beyond those of
conventional groups of the period, in a mode that reminds us of some of the work by the Kirby Stone Four or the John LaSalle Quartet. Titles include "Walkin", "Out Of This World", "You Gotta Wail", "No Moon At All", "Day In Day Out", and "Close To You".
