Press Reviews "Creating something funny out of the most mundaneof ideas has been a phenomenally successful gambitfor Jerry Seinfeld and his soon-departing sitcom.But his writers have days to mull over and perfectthe material. Not so with the Impromptones, a superbly talented quartet of comic/singers who caninstantaneously turn the most challenging curve ballan audience throws their way into a side-splittinglyhilarious home run." - Back Stage West, "90 zany minutes of sidesplitting laughs!" -Los Angeles Times"Their voices are fluid, their harmonies clean and clear, and theirgrasp of styles as diverse as minimalist opera andcountry-western solid. They're so good that you'dwant to listen to them sing even if they weren'tconcocting the songs out of thin air. But, of course,they are, and that makes listening to them all themore delightful. They are choice in the improvisedmusic game - and they ain't half-bad with thoseingenious rhyming lyrics, either." - The Austin Chronicle"The threesome of James Thomas Bailey, Jeff Davis and Joe Whyteare masterfully in sync with one another as they take whatever wordor phrase is given to them and immediately launchthemselves into melody, building their harmonieson the impeccable song stylings and chordal progressionslaid down by pianist Michael Pollock." - Daily Variety
