Clockwork is exceptional!! This 'new' a cappella group was a main attraction at the 2005 Columbia College Vocal Jazz Festival. Clockwork is comprised of five seasoned veterans with more than 150 years of vocal jazz experience between them. Their adjudication and clinics were positive and inspirational, and the evening concert performances are still creating a 'buzz'. This sophisticated and professional group has great arrangements and highly enjoyable stage presence. We are looking forward to having them back next year.

Dr. Rod Harris, Columbia College Jazz Festivals

Right ON ! …They have really fun material and the voices to make the charts come to life…great presentations.

-Gene Puerling

What a treat it is to work with singers who have such an inspirational level of competence.

-Richard Bob Greene, Producer of "Tesseract"

I really liked [clockwork's] recordings. Excellent singing.

Anders Edenroth, The Real Group

... Clockwork is a welcome addition to the genre of a cappella!

Joseph Jennings, Music Director, Chanticleer

Clockwork possesses the ingredients that elevate them to the level of the musical elite.

Phil Fetterman, “The Human Voice Show”

Really, I don't usually gush, but Tesseract, the first full-length album from Bay Area vocal jazz quintet Clockwork, is a real treasure. Complex, textured harmonies, near-perfect vocals, and heaps upon heaps of personality combine to dazzling effect here. And the best part is that these five incredible musicians pull it off with an effortlessness that makes Tesseract an immediately accessible, highly enjoyable treat.

Adam Ballard, The Recorded A Cappella Review Board 2005

Clockwork features an impressive collection of vocalists…strong tuning and consistent ensemble…wonderful and diverse arrangements

Eric Skalinder, The Recorded A Cappella Review Board 2004
