The Royal Bopsters - The Royal Bopsters (2022) [Official Digital Download]

“Extraordinary… The Royal Bopsters Project vividly makes the case for a revival of the art of vocalese.”
- Allen Morrison, Downbeat

“If this disc featured just the quartet, it would be sensational. The addition of the icons, showcased once each (with Murphy provided wider presence) and all in remarkably fine form, escalates it from valuable to priceless from piquant to landmark…”
- Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times

“This project unites a new voice in Jazz Quartet singing, whose ideas are fresh and plans are set… If all musical projects could be this well programmed…”
- C. Michael Bailey, Allaboutjazz.com

“Crack harmonizers Amy London, Darmon Meader, Dylan Pramuk, and Holli Ross breathe new life into the decidedly hep tradition on The Royal Bopsters Project, a lush and lively new album that spans the generations and includes appearances by vocalese masters Bob Dorough, Sheila Jordan, Mark Murphy, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross…”
- Richard Gehr, The Village Voice

The Royal Bopsters Project sees vocalese pioneers Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross brought together with other greats such as Mark Murphy, Bob Dorough, and Sheila Jordan, on a release masterminded by Amy London and her new vocal jazz quartet, creating a widely-acclaimed recording that both pays homage to the founders of the genre and brings the art form into a new era.
