“Welcome TONIC Vintage Vocals with a ball of fire offering that’s pure rollercoaster thrills, a very cool audio ride with a harmonizing technique that is just so smooth. This is not your typical “snake oil” production - TONIC will bring your blood to fever levels.”
Jazz Review
Karl Stober
“TONIC Vintage Vocals have an interesting twist on the usual romanticism involved in producing old-styled harmonic jazz singing; they write new ones. The quartet of singers has worked a classic form of vocal swing. Original compositions run from a hopped-up version of swing in the vein of the modern swing era to a vastly more subdued form, often even in solo slinks. Their four-part harmonies are impeccable and shine clearly.”

“TONIC Vintage Vocals brings classy harmonics, a lot of great tunes plus some hip vocalizations. This album is as hip as it gets with hints of the Manhattan Transfer but with a bit more muscle in the vocals and arrangements. If you like Swing then cop this disc; it will bring smiles and some toe tapping joy, and that is no jive. 5 Stars.”

“In swing you have to have the look, but TONIC Vintage Vocals delivers the goods as well. This vocal quartet does more than just cover swing/lounge material; their nine-piece backing band and a few guest musicians expertly play original swing orchestra arrangements, instead of imitating the usual Louis Jordan-style combo. Best of all the originals (written by members of the quartet) stand equally with the covers. With two male and two female vocalists, comparisons to Manhattan Transfer seem inevitable, but TONIC has only existed since 2003 and their harmonies are as good as they come. They may not bring back the style of swing on their own, but this group from Chicago should at least be far more successful than the Cubs.”
