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
This is smart, clever stuff!
