Biography

The Manhattan Transfer is the New York jazz vocal group formed in 1972 by Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, Laurel Massé and Tim Hauser. (Several years after the group formed, Ms. Masse was replaced by Cheryl Bentene following an auto accident. The group hasn't changed its personnel since.)

They had their initial success in the US with their self-titled debut album, and the single "Operator." Their next few… Read more in Amazon's The Manhattan Transfer Store

5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC, October 15, 2001

R. Penola (NYC, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Extensions (Audio CD)

This album is one of those rare gems that ages like fine wine. The originality in both the selections and the arrangements are infused with a real kick -- and an intense affection for the music. Birdland is one of those wildly perfect records that can send you into a dizzy euphoria upon every listening. Even the dated Twilight Tone still has power. Buy it and love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of my all-time favorites, May 3, 2000

"shofar" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Extensions (Audio CD)

This is one of my all-time favorite albums by one of my all-time favorite vocal groups. The vast array of vocal technique and variety of styles is inspiring. As a music teacher, when I am looking for something to demonstrate a wide variety of vocal techniques, I need go no further than this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vocal amazement, September 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Extensions (Audio CD)

Nothing better for those who enjoy vocal thrills and originality. Tight and cool. Crisp and smooth. The tones move you to a new dimension....Hearing the CD takes me back to 1979...late nights listening to my stereo with headphones long after my parents had demanded I go to bed! Now, as a much "older child," I appreciate the music more than ever and know that it's one of the best-kept secrets!
