Featured Vocalist: Tatum Langley!
These clips spotlight Tatum Langley in full flight — a singer with the sparkle, drive, and command to light up a big band from the very first phrase. Critics have praised her “superb” “rhythm, timing and swing,” and the way she sings with “vitality and charm,” while other reviewers have called her a “Chicago jazz powerhouse” and a “full-throttle sensation.” They point to her wide range, highly expressive delivery, and the mix of polish, personality, and rhythmic snap she brings to every performance. In these selections, you can hear exactly that: style, excitement, warmth, and a voice that swings hard while still sounding fresh, vivid, and unmistakably alive. She's a world-touring vocalist and Shout Section Big Band + Tatum always = EXCITEMENT AND SWING!
