HERES A REVIEW I FOUND ON THE NET.
from the liner notes: There's something new on the musical horizon, a fresh, bright form of expression, an innovation in rhythm, a real revolution in the use of the human voice: The truly different vocal-instrumental group THE JUMPING JACQUES. Thanks to an original and exciting musical concept, their leader, JACQUES HENDRIX, presents you with a brand new dimension in sound. You will be surprised by the diversity of the themes of this music, sometimes sweet, sometimes wild, but always rich, surprising, spontaneous and irresistible. The main innovation of THE JUMPING JACQUES on the technical side is the vocal rhythm sung by the extremely deep and yet flexible bass voice of JEAN STOUT and by the girl's voices reproducing, by means of nonsense syllables, the rhythms and chords usually played by electric guitars. All of this is underlined by the drums, giving an irresistible beat which entices you to dance. To this first rhythmic playback is added the perfectly homogeneous vocal line of the entire group. Then superimposed on this amazingly sonorous foundation, by means of re-recording, is the surprising and magnificent voice of soloist FRANCOISE WALCH. This voice is often doubled in the background by the subtle sound of a saxophone or flute, barely perceptible, but giving a beautiful and unexpected color. The absence of lyrics, replaced by new sounds and nonsense syllables, allows the human voice a wide range of expression and color.
