Outstanding vocal jazz, well based in the tradition but completely original and innovative. The plethora of sounds and voices produced by these two singers is unimaginable - one has to hear this to believe.

Well, this is a first for me. This CD is the first (and only so far) one I've received from Israel. This is also the oddest by far. I mean that in a good way. I played it for someone else and said, "What is this?" "It's jazz" was the response. Now I've heard jazz before, I'm not well versed in it, but I have heard it. And I'm pretty sure it didn't feature snoring, giggling, kissy noises and raspberries. But this is pretty cool!
The CD begins with a man snoring and a woman trying to wake him up. Then it goes into an intricate song with lots of scatting and swooping.
On "Boola ZooLA" you can really tell that Vered Dekel has an amazing voice. She also cuts loose on "Emp-Va-Lest " showing her almost operatic prowess. And Miles voice? Velvety, sexy and enveloping.
The musicianship on the recoding is incredible. From the horns and electric bass to the piano, drums this is really fun. There is classic jazz, spoken word and calypso.
I know I've said this in reference to CDs before, but if you are looking for something really different this is your ticket.
