I love the human voice, even moreso if they are massed. Drawing upon a list a Site has*, here's some of the better independent vocal jazz groups (those associated with a band not included nor are barber-shop quartets nor strictly Gospel). I won't clutter with Wiki's, Websites or whatnot--just music.

Great share. I think I've heard this before and dearly love it. And as the group is not listed by that Site, it would have been overlooked--a shame. Some more? Sure:
