Synopsis

Amazon.com

Inspired by the astoundingly popular The Three Tenors series, Broadway director Marion J. Caffey conceived and directed Three Mo' Tenors, bringing greater visibility to the classically trained African American voice. Starring seasoned tenors Roderick Dixon, Thomas Young, and Victor Trent Cook, Three Mo' Tenors is a theatrically staged concert set taped for public television's Great Performances. A companion to the taped show, the disc features just over an hour of live music from it. The phenomenal showmanship of Dixon, Young, and Trent Cook takes shape in the styles of opera, Broadway, blues, jazz, soul, spirituals, and gospel. The three virtuosos hit high C's with clarity and brilliance; scat with grace and grit; belt, bend and hold a note to beat the band. They move the audience to a state of near-ecstasy performing the traditional "Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)" and Puccini's glorious "Nessum Dorma." Other standouts include the jazz classic "Twisted," a rollicking version of "Today I Sing the Blues," and the salty "Minnie the Moocher." Boisterous, bold, and bountiful, Three Mo' Tenors is a modern classic. --Paige LaGrone

"After listening to my Three Mo' Tenors CD, I didn't want to waste any time letting the WORLD know about this extraordinary, amazing concert CD. I've long appreciated the Three Tenors...but watch out, move over, stand aside! Three Mo' Tenors rocks! With fabulously polished voices they span 400 years of music paying tribute to African American tenors. From opera, to spirituals, blues, r and b, showtunes, gospel and jazz -- they had me jumping, singing along, crying and feeling oh so good! What a moving concert CD....something all ages would enjoy. If you want a CD you can play morning, noon, night, when you're happy, when your'e blue, when you want to just feel good...then you'll love Three Mo' Tenors in Concert. Check out the rendition of "Twisted" -- one of my all time favorties...and the Ellington Medley, and the opera. Bravo! Three Mo' Tenors in Concert, I predict, will be America's next musical sensation!"

WOW!

"Picked this up when looking for something else...an impulse buy. Great impulse! Saw these guys on "My Favorite Broadway-The Love Songs", and although they didn't actually fit into the program, they were great. African-American tenors, Rodrick Dixon, Thomas Young, and Victor Trent Cook are incredible separately and together. Cook has "Smokey Joe's Cafe" on Broadway in his credits. Dixon appeared on Broadway in "Ragtime". Young is a legit operatic tenor. These guys whip back and forth between Broadway numbers "Make Them Hear You" (Ragtime), classic R & B "Midnight Train to Georgia", classic jazz "Let the Good Times Roll" "Minnie the Moocher", and opera "La Donna E Mobile" "Ah! Mes Amis". Incredible sounds from these guys, recorded live at The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Pick it up today!"

Three Mo Tenors - Glorious Music

"I am enraptured by the gifted and talented Three Mo Tenors. I never tire of playing the CD and watching the program on PBS. Each time is pure joy--I hear something new that delights me. My entire family - 6 years old to 78 years old - loves to listen to the Three Mo' Tenors. There is something for everyone - all kinds of music, all heavenly sung. The orchestra was equally outstanding. Thank you Thomas Young, Roderick Dixon, and Victor Trent Cook. You touched my soul!!!! I can hardly wait until the next CD."

"The African-American tenor is a phenomena unto itself...without going into the social/political ramifications of this within the singing world - particularly the opera world - upon hearing this album, you will recognize the true phenomena that it is... These three tenors - Victor Trent Cook, Rodrick Dixon and Thomas Young embody the truth of music from the soles of their feet through the tops of their heads and out their fingertips! A scope of 400 years is recognized on this album, and the ease in which it is interpreted is second to none. All three tenors have extraordinary credentials and ooze musicality, personality and deftness of allowing each style to color their sound - moving with grace and ease from "La Donna e mobile" through "Twisted" to "America the Beautiful". Each voice is uniquely characterized - Dixon's tender melancholy and textural rhythmic intensity in"Make Them Hear You"; Victor Trent Cook's almost smokey countertenor whine in "The Jazz Cat"; Thomas Young's poignant depth in "Nessun Dorma" that touches the frozen tears in one's soul; This album is recorded live - and colours and bends its way through your mind and your heart...try it! I will bet you won't be the same after experiencing it."

"First let me say that I'm BUYING 3 cd's and 3 video's for family and friends as holiday gifts. These guys are extremely talented vocalist and performers.I hadn't seen the PBS special so I didn't know very much about them. I was BLOWN away by their voices. There is so much power and emotion in each of their songs/voices. Even if you aren't a fan of classical, gospel, jazz, blues or R&B, you cannot help but be moved by their voices. My 4 year old daughter knows 8 of the 12 tracks on this cd by heart. I think that speaks volumes about their talent. Especially since my daughter had not been exposed to classical, jazz or blues on a regular basis before she heard their cd. This cd has taught her to appreciate music outside of the Barney singalong style. ;-) Thank goodness!!I want to share their music with all my family and friends because I feel that they are just that good. Plus, their cd has a bit of everything, so regardless of what style of music one likes, 3 Mo Tenors will hit the spot!"
