1	Extensions (1979) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer This audiophile CD reissue brings back one of the Manhattan Transfer's more popular sets. Their hit version of "Birdland" opens the program, and among the other tunes are "Twilight Tone" and "Trickle Trickle." From the jazz standpoint, the most significant numbers are the catchy "Birdland," "Wacky Dust," Spyro Gyra's "Shaker Song" and "Body and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
2	The Manhattan Transfer (1975) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The Manhattan Transfer first came to the general public's attention as a retro act, a nostalgic throwback in a era consumed with nostalgia -- the early/mid-'70s -- and their debut Atlantic album, as well as their 1975 summer replacement TV series, catered unashamedly to that market. As a result, this record seemed old when it came out, and it ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $9.55!
3	The Christmas Album (1992) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer For their set of Christmas related material, the Manhattan Transfer welcome such guests as trumpeter Jack Sheldon (on "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"), Tony Bennett ("The Christmas Song"), trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb. With arrangements provided for the backing orchestra by Johnny Mandel on a few ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.33!
4	The Very Best of the Manhatan Transfer (1994) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer This eclectic collection of songs encompasses jazz, bebop, swing, doo wop, rock & roll, and gospel; all are trimmed in an attractive pop texture. These 16 compositions are taken from the vocal quartet's albums, which span 12 years (1975-1987). Each selection is inviting, as all four song stylists display their individual vocal skills and admirable ... see all copies from $7.43! new only from $11.11!
5	Brasil (1987) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Tim Hauser likes to say that the Manhattan Transfer gets bored easily; hence the exploratory bent that has made them the most interesting vocal group in jazz (and maybe pop, too). Taking advantage of the then-cresting second Brazilian wave in North America while still going their own way musically, Brasil is the Transfer's most daring and perhaps ... see all copies from $3.88! new only from $9.55!
6	Mecca for Moderns (1981) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer After the deserved artistic, critical and popular success of Extensions, the Manhattan Transfer went back to ace producer Jay Graydon for Mecca for Moderns, which almost matches its predecessor in its contemporary energy while drawing selectively from the past. Outstanding is the handclapping treatment of the 1965 rock tune "The Boy from New York ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $9.55!
7	Bodies and Souls (1983) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer '83 release that saw Manhattan Transfer at their popular peak, doing some jazz-influenced harmonizing, but more mood music and light pop. They sing with energy and style here, but had moved away from the strict jazz formalism of their early material. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.23!
8	Vocalese (1985) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Many of the Manhattan Transfer's recordings up to the point of Vocalese showed off their diversity and covered a wide variety of music, including jazz. This set was quite a bit different, for it is dedicated to the vocalese of the great Jon Hendricks. The Manhattan Transfer (singers Cheryl Bentyne, Tim Hauser, Alan Paul and Janis Siegel) perform a ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $9.60!
9	Tonin' (1995) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The idea on Tonin' was to turn the Manhattan Transfer loose on a baker's dozen of good old 1960s pop and R&B hits in league either with the original artists or prominent guests from that period and beyond. And yes, it's a stellar list, guaranteed to stir warm and fuzzy memories, and the tunes echo the old lament of an earlier age, "They don't ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.55!
10	The Best of the Manhattan Transfer (1975) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer A recent compilation of the group's hits. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $22.34!
11 view cover	Swing (1997) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer On this continually interesting CD, the Manhattan Transfer revisits tunes from the swing era, in some cases re-creating (through vocalese) specific recordings. Benny Goodman's 1935 version of "King Porter Stomp," Bennie Moten's 1932 recording of "Moten's Swing," Glenn Miller's "I Know Why," Charlie Barnet's "Skyliner," and Fletcher Henderson's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
12 view cover	The Anthology: Down in Birdland (1992) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer As the Manhattan Transfer went on, so did the legacy of the jazz vocal ensemble. In that regard, though the competition was scarce, this group did elevate the art form to a higher level without much compromise. This two-CD, 39-track compilation represents many of the high points of the group. If anything is missing, some of the vocalese influenced ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $28.92!
13 view cover	Bop Doo-Wopp (1983) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer This album, released as a stopgap between major projects, is really an anthology of various studio scraps and live remote pickups, no doubt carefully curated and selected by that indefatigable collector, Tim Hauser. The rhythm track for "My Cat Fell In the Well" dates back to 1976's Coming Out sessions (the vocals are from 1984); everything else ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $9.55!
14 view cover	The Offbeat of Avenues (1991) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.95!
15 view cover	Vibrate (2004) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer With a title like Vibrate, it would seem that the Manhattan Transfer had filled their first studio disc in four years with jazzy and exciting vocal workouts intended to shake the speakers. But the title is a bit misleading as Vibrate is one of their most subdued and elegant recordings, and one that harks back to the days of Mecca for Moderns where ... see all copies from $13.73! new only from $16.81!
16 view cover	Coming Out (1976) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Manhattan Transfer's second Atlantic recording, Coming Out, showcases the talented singers (Tim Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, and Laurel Masse) on a strictly pop affair. The only hints of jazz pop up in Siegel's ballad "Scotch and Soda" and a funky version of "Poinciana," on which Michael Brecker has a cameo on soprano. There is a good amount ... see all copies from $9.48! new only from $9.55!
17 view cover	The Definitive Pop Collection (2006) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The Definitive Pop Collection compiles a superb cross section of vocal jazz group the Manhattan Transfer's best recordings from 1975 to 2006. Included are such standout tracks as the ensemble's classic version of Joe Zawinul's "Birdland" and cheeky take on the TV theme "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone," as well as "Tuxedo Junction," "A Nightingale ... see all copies from $17.90! new only from $17.90!
18 view cover	An Acapella Christmas (2006) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.93!
19 view cover	Couldn't Be Hotter (2003) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Although Manhattan Transfer have released other live albums, the collections were scattershot affairs that mainly focused on their '80s pop experiments or Vocalese-era jazz numbers that never really coalesced into one solid, perfectly performed concert recording. Twenty-eight years after their debut album, Manhattan Transfer finally capture the ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
20 view cover	Jukin' (1969) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer This was the Manhattan Transfer before they become The Manhattan Transfer, an altogether different vocal group from which founder Tim Hauser was the sole holdover. Released by Capitol in the 1970s on LP, and now on a related label in its CD version, Jukin' is an accumulation of scraps recorded over a period of two years in New York and Nashville. ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $8.57!
21 view cover	Pastiche (1976) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The dictionary definition of "pastiche" is an artistic composition imitating or caricaturing previous works, so given the lack of homegrown material here, it is hard to say what the Manhattan Transfer meant by this title. In any case, this assortment of odds and ends from various eras in American music -- recorded in New York, Los Angeles, ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $15.24!
22 view cover	Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Carole King's 1971 album Tapestry was one of the best-selling LPs of the early '70s and has had a lasting influence on pop singer/songwriters ever since. The idea of this tribute album was to re-create the album track-for-track using other artists. Since King had begun her career as a songwriter, with songs such as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
23 view cover	The Manhattan Transfer Live [1987] (1987) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Perhaps feeling that they should have a real up-to-date live album in their satchel after the half-cocked Bop Doo-Wopp -- and needing some product anyway after the triumphant Vocalese project -- the Manhattan Transfer went back to Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza Hall and did another live session. But, as in Bop Doo-Wopp, though these performances take up ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.72!
24 view cover	Boy from New York City & Other Hits (1997) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Boy from New York City & Other Hits is a budget-priced collection that features ten original recordings from the popular, kitschy East Coast vocal group Manhattan Transfer. For most listeners, the compilation's namesake will be the only familiar hit, but "Tuxedo Junction," the old Mills Brothers standard "Java Jive" and the ultra-weird "Twilight ... see all copies from $5.22! new only from $5.22!
25 view cover	Everybody Dance: Remixed Dance Classics (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The abundance of forgettable, badly done remix albums that came out in the 1980s and 1990s made some consumers wary of remixes. And up to a point, their skepticism was justified -- in some cases, remix albums have amounted to cheap, crude exploitation. But when remixing is done with creativity, the results can be thrilling. Much like a jazz ... see all copies from $16.48!
