Leader and vocalist Tina Marsh exhibits her wordless "vocalese" talents beautifully throughout this recording. Her range is such that she can duplicate almost any orchestral instrument. She may remind the listener of the 1950's Yma Sumac or perhaps of Canada's Karen Young who performs in duet with bassist Michel Donato.

The music of CO2 is really impossible to place in a given category. Some listeners my think of "free form jazz" and others of "chamber jazz" but both forms are all but impossible to perform with a group of this size. The music is structured and space is left for the soloists to stretch out to the best of their most ample abilities. The suites written by Stan Kenton and Les Baxter immediately popped into my aging mind when I first listened to CO2.

The "World Wide" CD was recorded in 1998. CreOp Muse also sent along an earlier CD titled "The Heaven Line" which is similar and was recorded in 1994. Both recordings are highly recommended. The soloists are quite outstanding, the compositions interesting and eloquent.
