Obituary, Washington Post, Ward Swingle, musician who made Bach swing, dies at 87 The beauty is that however the group has changed, the sound remains unmistakeably that of the Swingle Singers, the same sound which caught the world's attention all those years ago. Along with the repertoire, the stage show has also grown into a full-blown lights-and-choreography spectacle. They represent a modern incarnation of an ensemble whose music has evolved and expanded to encompass styles far and beyond the swung Baroque and infamous "ba va da" of the 1960s, although audiences will usually hear a tribute to the original French group. The current London-based line-up of young and talented singers is, of course, several incarnations of "Swingles" older than the original team (Ward Swingle affectionately refers to them as his "grandchildren"). Since the release of that ground-breaking debut album in 1963, this virtuosic eight-voice a cappella group (complete with their own vocal rhythm section) has performed on the world's most famous stages, sustaining over four decades a level of international popularity beyond the dreams of its founder, American-born Ward Swingle. Members: Kevin Fox, Joanna Goldsmith-Etesonįormer Members: Ward Swingle, Jonathan Rathbone, Ben Parry, Clare Wheeler, Jes Sadler, Tobias Hug, Christiane LegrandThere are few music lovers who haven't heard the name the Swingle Singers.
