Chantage joined with the Swingle Singers and the Urban Big Band for a concert performance of Duke Ellington's Sacred Concert, the Swingle Singers as the soloists and narrators. A new interpretation of the tap dance sequence was for two of the Swingle Singers to have a Beatboxing drum solo, in which the two vocal percussionists bounced rhythmic ideas off each other, gradually building to a climax before the band come back in.
The concert also saw the premiere of a new set of Interludes written by Ken Burton, designed to link together the choral version sections of Michael Tippett's 5 Negro Spirituals. |
