简介

The vocal a cappella group “Cool & Jazzy” carries you away into an exciting world of music and doesn’t let go ‘til the last note. It’s fireworks of rhythms and sounds! Doesn’t matter whether it is a standard jazz composition, a popular song, or a pearl of classical music—the sound produced is so rich, dynamic and wholesome that you get impression of an entire band performing for you! All of that, however, is made by voices alone. Any composition performed by “Cool & Jazzy” acquires a new meaning, a new sound, a new detail.
