The Ink Spots were among the most influential vocal groups in early American music, pioneers of the smooth quartet sound that defined 1930s and 1940s jazz and rhythm & blues. This collection captures their sophisticated approach to pop standards and original compositions. Their sound is unmistakable: precise harmonies, that distinctive bass-baritone spoken vocal trademark, playful instrumental interludes with strings and horns. The mood is urbane and charming, never trying too hard. This is music for late-night listening, for understanding why they shaped everything that came after them in vocal jazz and soul. An essential entry point into a sound that influenced decades of music to follow.
