In Brief

** 1/2 BEACHFRONT PROPERTY, "Beachfront Property," Cexton. These nine voices rarely reach the level attained by the Manhattan Transfer or Jon Hendricks' quartets. True, their white-bread blend is very pleasant and the a cappella passages are splendidly executed, but the scatting on "The Flintstone's Theme" is abysmal and the pseudo-blues in "Hurry on Down" is a pale shade of blue. Few waves are made on this beachfront.
