about

Cartwheels through the Cosmos was an ambitious and adventurous project that overstepped and redefined the boundaries of what jazz singing was when released in 2007. Cadence wrote that the Fay Victor Ensemble was “Taking jazz singing forward with a unique form of expression” , John Kelman at AllAboutJazz observed that "Cartwheels through the Cosmos is that rarity amongst contemporary vocal jazz releases: an album that doesn’t rely on a tired repertoire and looks, instead, for innovation in every corner" JazzTimes' Christopher Loudon called Cartwheels ‘brilliant.”

The Fay Victor Ensemble Brooklyn, New York

Together since 2005 the Brooklyn based Fay Victor Ensemble performs original wacky pieces that give way to free improvisational excursions, absurd theater with absurd vocalizations.

At first listen, especially for then-more-unexperienced jazz enthusiast like me it may be a demanding experience, especially due to the intensive vocals and flute working together. Still, it sinks into you immediately. Then you just keep coming back, more and more charmed, allured, enthralled and blissful while listening. And these feelings never stop growing within you with each future encounters with this wonderful album. Much reccomended! saimonix
