    @ Janis Siegel; I’m a life long fan, not far behind you in age. You were alway my teen crush and I my worst days were brightened at the sound of you voice. Even at our age, I wish I could give you a big ole hug and just say thank you for a life of beautiful music and memories. I love you Janise!

    I FELL IN LOVE with The Manhattan Transfer from the age of 12, from the first time I heard their first album. I became their #1 fan from "Tuxedo Junction". Decades and 23 concerts later, they remain my absolute favorite group of all time. I love you Janis Siegel, and I love you sll!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

  • @triplejazzmusicisall1883

    Janis is that wonderful combination of talent, kindness and genius. I admire her immensely both a solo artist and an integral member of The Manhattan Transfer. Their new album 50 sounds like it will be a gorgeous album and there is a new retrospective 5 album set coming out later this year. I have no association with the group of affiliates but I would encourage lovers of great music to consider buying their albums. They are a rare talent and 50 years equates to huge experience and incredible skills.

    • @user-dw2xh7sh2i
      @user-dw2xh7sh2i Před rokem

      After Tim's departure, M.T. became very thin. There is no more expressiveness, beauty, strength, harmony. The new album is completely dull and uninteresting, unfortunately...

    • @triplejazzmusicisall1883
      @triplejazzmusicisall1883 Před rokem

      @@user-dw2xh7sh2i You are absolutely entitled to hold that position and I miss Tims vocals in their music. He had such a unique vocal tone and delivery. I still love the group though and enjoy The Junction. I like the live album Fifty but I do find the songlist choice rather disjointed. Some of the songs that come from The Junction do not differ enough from the original but I think Agua and God Only Knows are beautiful. It will be interesting when the 5 cd box set from concord will contain - no to be confused with the one that came out years ago. All the best to you.

    Miss Janis Siegel my first LP record was "Extensions" at the age of 5. The music of Manhattan Transfer moulded me to be the artist that I am today, appreciative of harmonies and into intricate singing..
    I do wish to see and meet you hopefully.
    So I can have you sign my FIRST LP.
    THANK YOU FOR sharing your talents to the world.Godbless!!!

    Ahh. Just watched MT live in Tokyo (1986) on youtube, then this interview. It makes total sense how much she loves studio recording part. Even at the live, her chin had been fixed stationary at the mic, almost like in the recording studio. Fantastic interview to hear her insights and her world.

    I enjoyed hearing all the amazing things she has to say. However, I feel the interviewer could have been a little more clued in, done a bit more „research“ (which these days simply involves spending a little time online exploring) regarding Janis‘s music, legacy, the writers and performers etc.

    Trist Ethan Curless although it is a "bass", it does not pull the base notes to the desired tonality, power and expressiveness. I have to say that he is a pretty mediocre performer and Manhattan Transfer is not his place. They (M. T.) have not found a replacement for Tim. It's pathetic...
