Reviving the swing jazz tradition
The Manhattan Transfer rediscovers the allure of the big band sound.
This album reconstructs classic swing jazz songs from the 1930s and 1940s with exceptional vocal arrangements. The performance beautifully recreates the dynamic energy of the era while maintaining a modern sensibility, and has appeal across generations. This work clearly demonstrates their ongoing pursuit of the possibilities of jazz vocals.
