The Vintage Vocal Quartet


The Vintage Vocal Quartet is coming to fill your ears and your heart with the sweet swinging harmonies of the Swing Era, when jazz music and pop music were one and the same. It was a time when every radio blared out music that was danceable yet sophisticated.

The Vintage Vocal Quartet sings while playing piano, guitar, bass and trombone/drums, dialed in to the sound of groups like Glenn Miller’s Modernaires, the Nat King Cole Trio, the Andrews Sisters, and Tommy Dorsey’s Pied Pipers, as well as singers like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald.

The Vintage Vocal Quartet has been delighting concert audiences and lindy hoppers all over New England. These four performers provide their own accompaniment on piano, bass, guitar and trombone/drums to complement their powerful harmony vocals. 

When founder David Thorne Scott did a tour performing with the legendary Four Freshmen, he saw that vintage music — sassy and sweet, danceable and sophisticated — hits the spot for 21st century audiences. He came home to Boston and called up guitarist Paul Pampinella of the groundbreaking a cappella group Vox One and pianist Taylor O’Donnell, whose versatile voice can deliver jazz to funk with a whisper to a wail. Add trombonist and swing drummer Chris Humphrey and you've got yourself a four piece harmony machine.

The Vintage Vocal Quartet's first studio album, "Love You Madly," shows off the group just as they are in performance: four people, playing instruments and singing. That's it. Lean and sleek swing music with no added filler.

When VVQ founder David Thorne Scott toured with the legendary Four Freshmen, he saw that vintage music — sassy and sweet, danceable and sophisticated — hits the spot for 21st-century audiences.

He came home to Boston and called up guitarist Paul Pampinella of the groundbreaking a cappella group Vox One, along with Boston Pops trumpeter and soulful tenor Adam Gautille, and pianist Taylor O’Donnell, whose versatile voice can deliver jazz to funk with a whisper to a wail.

They take their repertoire from the masters of the swing era: Glenn Miller’s Modernaires, the Nat King Cole Trio, the Andrews Sisters, and Tommy Dorsey’s Pied Pipers, as well as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jo Stafford.
