Editorial Reviews :
Inspired by the astoundingly popular The Three Tenors series, Broadway director Marion J. Caffey conceived and directed Three Mo' Tenors, bringing greater visibility to the classically trained African American voice. Starring seasoned tenors Roderick Dixon, Thomas Young, and Victor Trent Cook, Three Mo' Tenors is a theatrically staged concert set taped for public television's Great Performances. A companion to the taped show, the disc features just over an hour of live music from it. The phenomenal showmanship of Dixon, Young, and Trent Cook takes shape in the styles of opera, Broadway, blues, jazz, soul, spirituals, and gospel. The three virtuosos hit high C's with clarity and brilliance; scat with grace and grit; belt, bend and hold a note to beat the band. They move the audience to a state of near-ecstasy performing the traditional 'Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)' and Puccini's glorious 'Nessum Dorma.' Other standouts include the jazz classic 'Twisted,' a rollicking version of 'Today I Sing the Blues,' and the salty 'Minnie the Moocher.' Boisterous, bold, and bountiful, Three Mo' Tenors is a modern classic.
Buyer Reviews :
First let me say that I'm BUYING 3 cd's and 3 video's for family and friends as holiday gifts. These guys are extremely talented vocalist and performers.
I hadn't seen the PBS special so I didn't know very much about them. I was BLOWN away by their voices. There is so much power and emotion in each of their songs/voices. Even if you aren't a fan of classical, gospel, jazz, blues or R&B, you cannot help but be moved by their voices. My 4 year old daughter knows 8 of the 12 tracks on this cd by heart. I think that speaks volumes about their talent. Especially since my daughter had not been exposed to classical, jazz or blues on a regular basis before she heard their cd. This cd has taught her to appreciate music outside of the Barney singalong style. ;-) Thank goodness!!
I want to share their music with all my family and friends because I feel that they are just that good. Plus, their cd has a bit of everything, so regardless of what style of music one likes, 3 Mo Tenors will hit the spot!
