The five-piece group Baby Brothers from Tokyo released their debut <em>Bb</em> in 2007 with their well-arranged jazz, R&amp;B, and hymn-like traditionals. With only their voices and no other instruments, the quality of vocal organic vibrations can powerfully connect with reassuring joy through a skillful, very human communal experience.</p>
