Jazz Review of The 3rd Yednist (Unity) International Jazz Festival

№12 March 30 2004 «The Day»

The next to appear onstage was the gorgeous vocal sextet Mansound. A group of world caliber made up of highly educated and professional soloists, including teachers of the Tchaikovsky Academy. In fact, this author believes that their vocal level is higher than that of Take Six and Manhattan Transfer, especially when they perform Ukrainian songs. Their strongest emotional number was Tolmachov’s It’s Not a Blizzard on the Meadow, a symphony for six voices kept in the best traditions of Mykola Leontovych, followed by group leader Volodymyr Mykhnevsky’s luxurious arrangements of Ukrainian songs. Their arts penetrates one’s heart, bringing tears to one’s eyes and the audience to ecstasy. They were fantastic!
