The HiLo's - The Hi Los I Presume

Review by Chris Burleigh

The Hi-Los I Presume is a timeless album that showcases the vocal prowess of the Hi-Lo's. The album, released in 1956, features a variety of jazz standards and popular songs of the time, all given the Hi-Lo's signature harmonies and arrangements.

From the opening track, "Fascinatin' Rhythm," to the closing ballad, "My Funny Valentine," the Hi-Lo's deliver a flawless performance. The group's tight harmonies and intricate vocal arrangements are on full display throughout the album, and each member of the group gets a chance to shine with solo performances.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mack the Knife," which features a swinging, jazzy arrangement that perfectly complements the Hi-Lo's vocal stylings. Another highlight is "Georgia on My Mind," which showcases the group's ability to infuse a classic song with their own unique sound.

Summary by Chris Burleigh

The Hi-Los I Presume is a must-have for fans of vocal jazz and anyone who appreciates the artistry of vocal harmonies. It's a timeless album that still sounds fresh and exciting more than six decades after its initial release.
