Free Music Notes for The Very Best of the Manhattan Transfer
Free Music Review: Couldn't Stop Dancing
Hit: 5 Stars
When the first song started to play, I got up from my chair and began to dance - I kept it up for at least 5 more songs until I was exhausted! The first several sets are songs from the 50s then it shifts to the 40s and then the music goes somewhere else! OMG! This CD is fabulous. I sang in a jazz trio in the past, so I sang along to the songs while I danced. I had to play a Beethoven Symphony when then the CD ended in order to just chill-out!
The Very Best of the Manhattan Transfer Poster
This is an excellent collection of many of the high points of the Manhattan Transfer's first decade, demonstrating both their reach and their grasp as they draw material from swing, modern jazz, and doo-wop into their own distinctive style. There's a tongue-in-cheek cool that connects the swing of Erskine Hawkins's "Tuxedo Junction" to the elemental girl-group harmonies of "Boy from New York City" and the TV themes like "Route 66" and the variations on the "Twilight Zone." More traditional jazz skills, though, are apparent in their renditions of some Jon Hendricks vocal classics. Composer Jimmy Giuffre plays saxophone on their version of his "Four Brothers," a key theme for bandleader Woody Herman, while there are also stellar renditions of Weather Report's "Birdland" and the standard "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square." It's an entertaining collection by a group that's never let itself be confined by the expected. --Adam RainsJazz Music CDs
