General Interest Invitation In the early 1970's, Oscar Peterson gave a demo tape to his friend Brunner- Schwer. It contained a recording of a vocal quartet from Chicago, Singers Unlimited. Enthralled by the music, the MPS chief spontaneously booked the group, which previously earned their money performing advertising jingles. For the three-man and one woman choir, it was the beginning of a successful international career. In the following years MPS produced no less than 15 albums for the vocal virtuosos. They included one LP with the Oscar Peterson Trio and three a cappella albums. In June 1973, MPS engaged accordion virtuoso Art van Damme (1920-2010) for a session with the Singers Unlimited. The American is seldom mentioned in today's jazz literature, yet he brought the accordion, a popular instrument in folk music, into jazz. Van Damme played Benny Goodman clarinet solos on what is perceived as an unwieldy instrument the accordion world champion appeared in shows with Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald. For the recordings with SingersUnlimited, van Damme wrote instrumental arrangements for a combo (with MPS house bassist Eberhard Weber and Swiss drummer Charly Antolini). The Singers Unlimited were recorded using the then revolutionary multitrack technology their production was one of the most expensive MPS recordings. On the other hand, with its swinging easy-listening sound, the album was also one of the company's best-selling. Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
