Pittsburgh Newspaper Review VaiDaCapo CD


Songs of Delight'
This is the review from Tribune Review paper, and I can not agree more at how amazing this trio is. The songs on this CD have been my favorites for many years and they have made them their own in an amazing way.



Vai DaCapo (DVD and CD from Decca)

The "Songs of Delight" that make up these recordings might seem a little less than delightful, but the performances more than lift them to that level. Vai DaCapo is the latest in the Three (Insert Adjective Here) Tenor phenomenon, which finds homes in many different musics. On this one, tenors Colin D. Eaton II, Nmon Ford and Joseph Guyton sing powerhouse versions of mostly pop hits such as "Greatest Love of All," "Easy," "You Are So Beautiful" and "Let's Stay Together." They also are joined by Patti Austin on "Up Where We Belong" and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You." All of those songs would seem unchallenging for top talents, but the singers are gifted enough to give the music dignity it would appear to lack, Their best offerings are "Lean on Me" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which stand out because of the beautiful thoughts of help expressed in the lyrics. The CD is an exact, track-for-track, studio version of the DVD, which was recorded in a small concert hall in Germany. In short, if you like good singing, these are for you,

VaiDCapo will be one of the greatest.

Vai DaCapo will be one of the greatest musical talents. They are three young men with outstanding talents. If you have not heard,do yourself a favor listen to one of their songs and you will want their CD. I already got their CD after I heard them sing a couple of songs on PBS,and I was hooked. I can hardly wait to see what they do next.
Listen to them sing Let's Stay Together.

Amazing Vai DaCapo

I was flipping through the TV Channels, and as PBS came on there were three amazing young men singing some of my favorite songs. Now, I love music, and I can find a favorite in all types of music.
The three singers in VaiDaCapo are amazing,voices that give you that chill down your spine, that certain song will bring tears to your eyes.
I ordered their album and hope to go see them in Pittsburgh.
I have listened to the CD so many times. Lean On Me is one of my favorite songs ever, and they do different then Bill Withers, and they do it well. My favorite is Open Arms, it is so beautiful,this trio deserves to get recognition.
And it definitely does not hurt that they are hot young men!
Here is a video of Open Arms, the video is not great, but the audio is wonderful. You will be able to judge for yourself. You will find yourself a Vai DaCapo fan,too.
If you like what you hear, buy their CD, write to national and local shows and blog about the trio and bring Vai DaCapo to everyone's attention.
