Exquisite music but I could have gotten by without the choreography. 😳

What it would look like if Weather Report became a lounge act with Manhattan Transfer as their backup singers. I hope they got paid big money for this cheesy rendition of Birdland.

I think I was at that concert at the Playboy Jazz Festival (known for Bill Cosby "playing it straight" as the emceee) at the Hollywood Bowl and the video here just doesn't do justice. This is after a long day in the sun and prior to Manhattan Transfer coming in stage. Grover Washington, Jr. proceeded them and totally blew the roof off the joint. After he was done it was pretty much anticlimactic and it was the only time that I've ever seen Manhattan transfer just totally blow. Is was very odd.

Yes. I saw them in Toronto around that time. My friend (a drummer) caught his towel. He was all excited.

He was probably WR’s peak drummer but not by much because Erskine was fantastic.

Wayne did not do theatric dance gestures - he just played. His other band members danced and emoted. He stayed within himself. But it didn't detract from the music.

Birdland don’t sound right. Something’s missing. Oh yeah, of course…Jaco Pastorius. It ain’t Birdland without JP.

I've watched this video several times now, and loved it each time. Whoever had the idea of matching Manhattan Transfer up with Weather Report should have received an award of some kind. Maybe "Most Serendipitous Musical Match of the Decade". I'd vote for that.
