Not too many ppl giving this group any love, glad you are!! 🎶🎵💚
Always loved their harmonies. Talk about diamonds in your ears!
The Real Groove
Tuxedo Junction
Spice of Life
Boy from New York City
Some of the greatest jazz vocal tunes you'll find. I believe this is the first new music done by the Band since the passing of Tim Hauser, founding member. The skatting will blow your mind. 🎶🎶👍👍 This was first done by Herbie Hancock. Amazing. Glad you enjoyed Harri. Thanks Harri and Terri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
A great reply showing knowledge and appreciation. They are sublime.
Oh,yes, Boy from New York City. Very cool
Huge MT fan here. Seen them at least 10 times and they ALWAYS gave their all. NEVER off key. Love 'em forever! ✌
I love their style, but I hadn't heard this one before. Wow!!
I second that
I third that!
Love the Manhattan Transfer. Dive deeper You'll love it.
So true. After 50 years there's a lot to discover. Do you have a particular genre they cover you like best?
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 not a particular genre, I have just loved listening to Janis Siegel singing and listening the harmonies.
@@donrogers1337 Nothing at all wrong with that. Janis is amazing. Cheers
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 that’s the GREAT CHERYL BENTYNE on lead on this one!
Trickle Trickle, Operator, Java Jive, Foreign Affair, A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square...SO many great songs by this group. Their vocals are just insane. Harri, check out more of their stuff when you can. 😉
Some fantastic choice selections on your list. Foreign Affair is a forgotten delight. I wish they had sung in more often life. Tryst Curtis has done an amazing job as to fill the gap of the great Tim Hauser would have been difficult on so many levels. They choose wisely. Tryst also has the same humility and grace that Tim had. This group's music has helped me get through the toughest times of life they I simply adore them on so many levels.
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 They are amazing. I saw them live in '80 as a freshman in college and loved them ever since. Yes, they have chosen wisely in 2 changes now and done a great job of maintaining their musical identity. Wonderful!
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 from back in the day! 🙂 czcams.com/video/8URuManTC_I/video.html
I loved Manhattan Transfer back in the day but I never heard Cantaloop before. Yum!
Fantastic 👋👋👋
and "so u say" is incredible soul
I’ve always like MT, but I was not familiar with this track! I was familiar with a dance club mix version that I always thought was really cool, love this one - thanks for the request Terri Wyatt!!
I love chanson d'Amour
Love love The Boy From New York City. Thanks for this Harri. They had some great songs. 👏👏🇨🇦
Nice choice. They are my favorite jazz vocal group.
You have impeccable tasts IMO.
Hope you'll do more of them. I remember hearing them for the first time on the radio. Too young at the time to realize how good they were, just knew they were different and I loved it.
I was 18 and The Offbeat of avenues had just been released. My uncle a conductor of a Naval Big Band got me on to them. Now I probably own everything thy ever released whereas he probably just as the Best of album. Thank Uncle Keith for without you I my never have discovered this amazing vocal quartet.
So when you say young how old were you and what was your first encounter?
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 Not as young as you. It was the 1975 album I bought. 70 years old now and 23 then.
I loved their song, Birdland.
Holy cow! I've always liked Manhattan Transfer, but I'd never heard this before. Awesome! I'm not really a jazz fan, but this might have moved me closer.
Loved them in the 70’s saw ManTran live in the Rainbow Room Biba.
Wow! I forgot about these folks! Thanks Harri!
This is there last year touring.
Have you listen to the boy from New York City yet? It’s a great tune by them kind of got that doo-wop vibe.
This was originally a Herbie Hancock tune called Cantaloupe Island. He recorded it in 1964 0n his album Empyrean Isles. The legendary Freddie Hubbard played trumpet on it. A group called US3 did a rap version of it and called it Cantaloop back in the 90s.
That’s what I wanted to reply too. This is a cover of the US3 song which was based on Herbie Hancock’s “Cantaloupe Island”.
I've always been a fan of the Manhattan Transfer! Yes, Herbie Hancock is the original writer/performer. If you like this, try their interpretation of Weather Report's Birdland.
Have you seen the youtube video of them playing Birdland together? I am looking forward to the release of their forthcoming documentary.
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 I have not, but I certainly will look for it.
YES!!! Their version of Birdland is wonderful!
LOVE your reaction to this fantastic group! They have been around since the late 60’s giving the world their incredible sounds to the world!! I’m sure Herbie Hancock & George Benson loves this version 💎
The Boy From NYC, Operator, Tuxedo Junction, Java Jive are a few of MT recordings 💜
When this review was done. Harri put it on infinite repeat. 👍
Love the Transfer! Got a few on vinyl!
One of my favorites from them is "Operator", a quite modern gospel tune.
I would agree. Janis just blows that out of the water.
I agree. Some of the best scat music I've ever heard. It's difficult to find the words to describe just how beautiful this is. Enjoyed your reactions. I was right there with you. Great stuff!
This is the most fun funky song I have ever heard !!!
Just love them since I first heard them in the 70's. It's hard to describe them in just a few words other than amazing, groovy, tight, cool...you get my drift.
Harri, you should compile a list of your favorite 25 songs you've reacted to.
'Better check them out live soon! Their final concert ever is December 15, 2023 at the Disney Theater in L.A. 50 years of legendary greatness!
50 year MT fan here. When you hear them sing this (and I saw them sing it live), it's hard to realize that, with the exception of Tim Hauser's replacement, Trist Curless, they were all at or near Social Security age when this was recorded. Their energy and musicianship is still top level.
In the mid 70's they had a short TV series on CBS
Smile Again, a very different 1981 love song from them.
That's a great song written by David Foster, Jay Graydon and Tim Hauser....
Hey that is a hidden gem. Lovely choice.
I love it! My first time hearing this one from Manhatten Transfer. Very creative 👌
I was working painting the floor of a soundstage for an Electric Light Orchestra video shoot and Manhattan Transfer was on the soundstage next door rehearsing for a tour. That night they gave a show for the record execs and their managers and I just sat in the back digging every sound they made. It was great. That was 1980..
"Soulfood To Go" should be your next MT song. You will love it.🇨🇦
There recent album 50 I which was nominated for best jazz vocal album. I wish they had won.
A great post Harri. I hope you find some more hidden jams from MT. Jazz snobs used to ignore M.T. but after many years of magnificence they slowly and begrudgingly came to admit that they indeed played great jazz. Check out Night in Tunisia they did with Bobby McFerrin also has a great video.. All those cool people out there who have written to support M.T. can we form a fan club. I need one as I don't do Facebook. HarriBest you're the best. The knowledge you bring to your review is great.
Look out for a retrospective box set which should be released this year on the Concord label as well as a long anticipated documentary that got delayed due to Covid which Alan Paul is overseeing.
All hail Cheryl Bentyne! She is the featured vocalist on the outro. ✌
"soul food +o go" is awesome from 'em
The Manhattan Transfer is a great vocal group founded in 1969 that has done many genres of music including a cappella, vocalese, swing, standards, Brazilian jazz, R&B & pop music. They did a great cover of "The Boy From New York City" in 1981. Other songs are "Birdland", "Until I Met You (Corner Pocket)", "Route 66", "Java Jive", "Tuxedo Junction", "Operator" etc.
yes and dozens more. Which would be your ultimate pick? Probably an impossible question to answer. For me both covers of 'God Only Knows' and 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square.' A very hard question as they played across so many genres creating a very diverse audience. I have much respect for M.T. fans. An Mt fan must possess a wide repertoire of music and also a discerning appreciation/ear.
Not to mention a great Christmas album as well
More specifically: This is a remix of a remix done in the 90's by US3 called Cantaloop - Flip Fantasia. That's where the lyrics came from.
Well, ya SURE got me to smiling, THAT TIME, Harri!!!
Two ladies and two gentlemen!
"Diamonds in my ears"!!
Excellent reaction, Bro. MT has so many good tunes. Explore! ✌️
The Manhattan Transfer is brilliant! You should explore their vast repertoire from the 1970s forward.
Never heard of this version before. Thanks, Harri. Nice song, good reaction.
A group called US3 did a cover of this song I think it was back in the 90's✌️
I LOVE their version. Listen to it constantly.
@@erikroman4430 my favorite too✌️
US3 version is my wife and my favorite version also, this Manhattan Transfer version sounds like elevator music cover to me, like what you would hear over the speakers in the grocery store 🤣
Great reaction to one of my favorite groups, Harri! I'ma go out on a limb and say that there would be no Pentatonix or VoicePlay or Home Free if not for The Manhattan Transfer. I'll recommend two of their songs which showcase their mastery of very different styles:
1) Four Brothers: czcams.com/video/GK9ad5MOeeo/video.html
2) A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square: czcams.com/video/Sg0XYASR7UM/video.html
Other well known scat singers are Scatman Carruthers, Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Durante, Al Jarreau, Roger Miller, Sammy Davis Jr., and Bobby McFerrin.
I really like what Bobby McFerrin did with the Pentatonic Scale. He toured the world giving demonstrations of his unique talents and enticing the entire audience (studio, amphitheater, stadium) to perform with him. Reminiscences of the India chant in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", but a more melodic and interactive event. Truly an awe inspiring spectacle.
I met Scatman many, many years ago and he told me I reminded him of his daughter. Quiet and shy.
I remember him doing a version of Blackbird - absolutely incredible. At the risk of embarrassment I am not familiar with Roger Miller. Ella's singing Airmail special would have to be a fabouriote. Great to know there are lovers of this music out there. The fact that MT are currently touring for the last time in their mid-seventies is just amazing. Now there is a group that love music. For me I prefer MT's jazz and vocalese more than their earlier pop prior to Cheryl Bentyne came on board. In fact I think Cheryl is one of the best jazz singers out there.
@@Cynthia... I have found that the quiet and shy people are generally more intelligent and observant. You learn more by listening and see more by watching vice acting out to draw the attention. In the end they are far more interesting than the drama queens and the "legend in his own mind".
Pardon me for asking, but are you sure we are discussing the same man? Unless the avatar attached to your channel is of your granddaughter, you hardly seem capable of meeting Scatman Carruthers. He was born in 1910 and passed away in 1986. I remember him from pre-1980 movies & television, as a recurring actor on "Chico and the Man", and as a voice actor on Hannah Barbara cartoons (ca '70's). Granddaughter or not, the avatar image is of a lovely young lady with a visage of intelligence and the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa.
@@jamestaylor2920 yes same man, that’s a very old picture of me, I was about 16. You are very observant by the sounds of what you have said.
@@Cynthia... Observant, me? Dear lady I'm just waiting on the bus. I don't know nothing about berthing no babies and wouldn't be sixteen again for overtime wages. Just setting here on the group "W" bench trying to be quiet and shy. Then again it was a quixotic smile on a lovely young lady.
Dad was a Manhattan Transfer fan; jazz singing perfection. Operator, Birdland, Tuxedo Junction; so great. They had a pop song in the 80’s that was a departure; almost disco, called “Twilight Zone” it’s fantastic ❤
Oh definitely, Harri!
The Manhattan Transfer are 'for real'.
I suggest my favorite Manhattan Transfer song "Spice Of Life".
I love JAZZ!
Harri - I just looked it up and the version I am familiar with IS the original by Us3. You should definitely take a listen. Also, I found an incredible cover version by someone named iLaria_F. Definitely worth checking out!
Any fans out there which have spare time and are crazy like me, might like to share...
1. Favourite M.T. album?
2. Favourite song with Tim/Tryst on lead?
3. Favourite song with Cheryl/Laurel on lead?
4. Favourite song with Janis on lead?
5. Favourite M.T song (can be a cover)?
For me...
1. The Junction tied with Vocalese
2. Soul Food to Go
3. Tutu
4. Operator
5. A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square tied with God Only Knows
I dreamed of them last night, seriously! Saw them every time they were in my region... so much respect. Try their take on Birdland, and my personal favorite, Tuxedo Junction. Oh, and have to add-- they have a wonderful Christmas Album that I highly recommend to everyone!
Hi harri you have done it again thank you
This is definitely a fun one!
1. "Cantaloop (Flip Out!)" Writers. Herbie Hancock, Rahsaan Kelly, Mel Simpson, Geoff Wilkinson
Saw em in Vegas w/ Bill Cosby in the late sevanties.... who knew he'd go there ...they were awesome....
I'd forgotten the manhattan transfer, very good. Peace
Hi Mr. Harri, I love The Manhattan Transfer, Ms. Ella Fitzgerald sang "How High The Moon" with them
on the Grammys.. I like their "Boy From New York City", they have several versions, not sure which one
I like the best.. ♠W.G.
Check “Boy from New York City” too.
You would also love to react to “Only you” by Flying Pickets, a vocals cover version of Yazoo’s song.
Another good one is Enough. Must hear the whole album Hand On The Torch
Eargasms Galore !!!
A play on the Rythm and Beat of 'Watermelon Man'... cool. Harri, if you like jazz like this, check out some Lambert, Hendrix, and Ross. Later Lambert, Hendrix, and Bavan... 'specially the 'LIVE' albums. Don' wear sox 'cuz they'll be knock'd off!
Now check out the 1993 'Acid Jazz' version. "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)' by Us3, Rahsaan, Gerard Prescencer. Same song, but different gravy... 😎
Boy from new York City or Sassy next!!
Sassy!!!!!! Won Janis a grammy for best arrangement.
Doesn't surprise me. It was awesome. I love the entire Offbeat Of Avenues album.
@@erikroman4430 A fantastic album which has grown in stature of the years. Being their first album of their own material was risky but it paid off in the end. The title track blew me away when I first heard it. Confide in Me which is a cover nut nevertheless a great addition.
Check out Java Jive or Operator, two of their most popular songs.
And don't forget to Boogie children 🌴🌄🪴
Ten grammys
You should listen to soul food to go, its such a bop
Hear "us3 - cantaloop" (flip fantasia)
I'm sure you heard SOUL FOOD TO GO , SAME GROUP, IF NOT , LISTEN TO IT OFF YOUR SITE
This is cool- also listen to the original
Herbie Hancock wrote it I think
Gee Wiz. Where's the Autotune ?? :-(
not bad but....theres a better version out there ;)
More please!
They are the Steely Dan of Jazz pop!
