	CD Review of The Boswell Sisters - The Boswell Sisters - Volume 1 on Collectibles @ jazzreview.com
		They didn't scat a lot, but when they did it sounded unearthly and their harmonies were so close they were the vocal equivalent of the Woody Herman "Four Brothers" sax section.
		The Boswells formed in New Orleans in the mid-1920s and disbanded in the mid-30s, and during their career they were backed on record by such as Jimmy & Tommy Dorsey, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang and Bunny Berigan.
		Theirs was a deceptively genteel-sounding take on the hot jazz stylings of the period, their harmonies sweet on first listen, but full of mad yet focused swing, appealingly tart sass and amazing vocal gymnastics.

	The Boswell Sisters - Biography - AOL Music
		Definitely the most talented and arguably the all-around best jazz vocal group of all time, the Boswell Sisters parlayed their New Orleans upbringing into a swinging delivery that featured not only impossibly close harmonies, but countless maneuvers of vocal gymnastics rarely equalled on record.
		Word of their incredible vocal talents led to appearances in Chicago and New York, and the Boswell Sisters began recording in 1930 for Victor.
		The Boswell Sisters hit the top of the Hit Parade only once, in 1935, with "The Object of My Affection" from the film Times Square Lady.

		It is not one of the sisters' hotter numbers; it refers to "the rolling rocking rhythm of the sea".
		In 2001, The Boswell Sisters, a major musical based on their lives, had its world premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California.

		The Boswells were pioneers in the early days of network radio and it was radio that made them famous.
		Meanwhile, the sisters were absorbing all the other music around them, gospel, blues, the sounds they heard coming out of fl bars and clubs close to their neighborhood.
		Almost all of the Boswell sisters recordings are currently available along with some interesting air shots from their radio programs.

		One of the finest jazz singers of the 1930's, Connee Boswell (who was always cited by Ella Fitzgerald as her main early influence) originally rose to fame as a member of the Boswell Sisters, one of the premiere jazz vocal groups.
		The three Boswell Sisters (with Martha on piano and Vet on violin) did have an opportunity to perform with the New Orleans Philharmonic but soon they gave up playing their instruments (except for Martha on piano) and chose to work on developing as a vocal group.
		Although she never broke through to become a major star, Connee Boswell was fairly well-known and worked steadily into the 1950's, appearing in some films (including "Kiss The Boys Goodbye" and "Syncopation") and on the short-lived television show Pete Kelly's Blues.

		Boswell Sisters "Never-Issued Tunes and Takes" (1930-1935) VMP 0011 [Vintage Music Productions CD] Unforgettable music from the most original vocal trios of their time.
		Their family, which moved to New Orleans in 1914, was musically rich, and as early as four years of age, all of the Boswell children had begun studying music: Connie on cello, Martha on piano and Vet on violin.
		In the mid 1920s, while appearing locally in theaters and radio, the Boswell girls added singing to their musical arrangements, and much to the "concern" of their parents, they also imbued their style with the jazz influence of New Orleans.

	San Diego Playbill - Local Reviews
		From their start in the late 1920s to their disbandment in 1935, The Boswell Sisters were one of the hottest musical acts around.
		Their unique, groundbreaking style became known as "the Boswell Sound." It was hip, bluesy, and full of personality and light-hearted fun (such as playfully doing some of the instrumental sounds with their voices) -- all of which helped to draw people of the Great Depression to their music.
		The Boswell Sisters world premiere, currently playing at The Old Globe, gives us a peek at who they are, but just a peek, and an imaginary one at that.

		During the 1930's a new phrase entered the musical lexicon: "the Boswell Sound." This new sound was musically intricate, innovative and optimistic--a formidable weapon to combat the Depression blues.
		That innovative "Boswell Sound" is still winning new fans and influencing a whole new generation of performers.

	The Boswell Sisters \| Nothing Was Sweeter Than
		Their harmonies amounted to the opposite of sibling rivalry, and the liberties they took with tempo and key changes were to have a positive effect on a young Ella Fitzgerald and others.
		Fats Wallers’ “It’s You,” however, is surely irresistible to all but the stoniest of hearts, and Connee Boswell’s solo vocal lines have about them the air of a true jazz singer, so sure is she in the liberties she takes with the lyric.
		In focusing on a four-year period, this collection provides a snapshot in time of this group’s development, and such has been the influence of their music that it’s transcended that time and become a part of the broadest continuum.

	The Boswell Sisters
		The Sisters' jazz flair was invariably enhanced by the accompaniment of some of the top musicians in jazz, and fine solos by such as Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Bunny Berigan, Benny Goodman, Manny Klein, Artie Shaw and Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang all add to the enjoyment.
		There were many "sister" groups in the 20th century, but none compared to the three Boswell Sisters, who, unlike the other groups, including the more famous Andrews Sisters, were very jazz-oriented, not afraid to take chances and they could out-swing anyone.
		Just as the Swing Era began in 1936 the Boswells broke up in favor of married life for Vet and Martha and a solo career for Connie that lasted until her death in 1976.

	Playbill News: Plaid's Ross Brings Harmony to CA's Globe w/ Boswell Sisters, July 22-Sept. 1

		Interpolating tunes from the 1920s and '30s ("Stormy Weather" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band" included), The Boswell Sisters traces the lives of the three women musicians (all three played instruments and sang), who burst on the scene with their unique, jazzy vocals as the Roaring Twenties were coming to an end.
		The Boswell Sisters is the first collaboration for Ross and Hampton.
