Winners of 10 prestigious Grammy awards, they will be singing all their worldwide hits including “Birdland,” “Route 66,” “Chanson D’Amour,” “The Boy From New York City” and many more. The show will feature the groups vocal virtuosity and musical versatility as they cover most styles including Jazz, R&B, Pop, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Swing. It has been 40 years since The Manhattan Transfer were formed in New York City by Tim Hauser. The current group, including original members Alan Paul and Janis Seigel along with long standing member Cheryl Bentyne, and newcomer Trist Curless, continue the tradition of harmonising brilliance. They promise to take you through an incredible musical journey with a diverse range of hits that influenced the generation of the modern vocal quartet.
i didn't realize that Manhattan Transfer has been together for 40 years . . . not only do they still sound great singing their classics (tuxedo junction, java jive, route 66, birdland), but they're still pumping out new fantastically complex and amazing harmonies. thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Manhatten Transfer concert on May 29 was not to be missed. Sadly, many seats were empty. This was not the fault of the group; the promoter seemed to miss advertising this group more effectively. Tiny advertisements in the paper are not acceptable. After 40 years of hits, this group might have sat on their laurels and presented only the hits of their past. However, the sheer deliciousness of their new endeavour, The Chick Corea Songbook, proves that when you are musically gifted and trained, you can sing anything! For the jazz enthusiast, this new album is a much needed addition to your collection.
Absolutely, thoroughly enjoyable. The only disappointment is that they did none of their hits. Don't get me wrong, I loved the show. I would have loved to hear Operator, Boy fron NY city, Trickle Trickle, Chauson L'amour etc. Not one single hit was performed! Still great but those are the songs that made me a fan in the first place.
