Manhattan Transfer fans around here?

Wondering if any Polkies dig Manhattan Transfer...Just picked up their latest one: Couldn't be hotter. Recording quality is better than average, it's a Telarc live recording. It's amazing, had several of their albums in the past 20 years and still think they have their "magic" after all these years...

I have been a fan of The Manhatten Transfer for many years. Their Christmas CD is one of the most clever that I have heard in a number of years. Their interpretation of standard/popular music is very original.

I was unaware of a new CD. Can you provide any additional information.

Circuit City has better price $13.99 (where I picked it up). I agree with you, their christmas album is great. I've been meaning to pick up the SACD version, but not quite sure if I will get enough mileage out of it. It's definitely bring the christmas mood into the house (too bad there's no white christmas 'round here).

My mother played a lot of their music while I was growing up. I actually really enjoyed their stuff, and still do. Very up-beat.... very care-free.

Will definately have to pick up the cd at work..

I guarantee you will appreciate your 15 even more, with her vocal strength. She's another female jazz vocalist that need to be reckon with...
