Hailed as “one of the best pop-jazz vocal ensembles in the world” and “among the best A Cappella groups in the country” , the pop-jazz tour-de-force, MP, has received countless honors, including one from Billboard.
Now touring Fine Arts Halls and Jazz Festivals internationally, MP has appeared on four continents -- Europe, SE Asia, North Africa, and across the US and Canada, opening and/or performing for pop superstars such as Sheryl Crow, Kenny Loggins, and Bobby McFerrin, as well as with jazz legends from Ray Charles and Natalie Cole to Kenny G and the Woody Herman Orchestra.
Around the world, mesmerized audiences buzz from the thrill of MP's unbelievable vocal acrobatics and delightful orchestrations, their polished, yet authentic stage presence, and the true, artistic experience they create by the human voice alone. These pros deliver successful events of every size for promoters of every kind; rarely MP is not immediately re-booked for return engagements.
Each of MP A Cappella Group's four original CD’s have received rave reviews and multiple awards, including Best Pop/R&B Song, Best Male Vocal, and a Contemporary A Cappella Recording Artist Award. Approximately 50,000 units have been sold between the three recordings. Two new CD’s are in production for 2004, one containing MP's critically acclaimed, original pop compositions and the other, a jazz favorites collection.
