Voice: Songs For Our Grandchildren

Read "Songs For Our Grandchildren" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Holding true to the identity established on Volume 1 of this series, the South African bop quintet known as Voice has chosen to stick to material that represents their country's jazz legacy on Volume 2: Songs For Our Grandchildren.
