The Manhattan Transfer ☆ Vocalese Live • 1986 [Remastered audio]

[@justinnoble6506]

This was MT at the top of their game. Vocalese was a groundbreaking album, and still untouched in vocal jazz.

[@kermitefrog64]

Great jiving music. The quality of their voices and craft has been entertaining audiences for 50 years.

[@frankstudent]

I recently discovered them, and I look forward to listening to their discography!

[@posnerist]

Ain't it great that your life's work makes so many people so happy. How many can say that in their lives?.....

[@robertobasilone3787]

They are voice magicians, not just singers.

[@dvdgdry]

Best quartet ever never ever!!! Hands down. Saw them live in Dallas at an outside concert with friends that new real musical talent. Wish I could go back to that evening in real life. Oh well, it lives in infamy inside me.

[@peterscott6818]

What a section! Their voices blend into exquisite smooth beauty. And such tuning on such close chromatic harmonies. I’ve never heard anyone to touch them. Marvellous! And then then the band . . . top notch. Peerless musicianship

[@DadBradTo5]

Where have the years gone to!!?? - - Hard to believe that its been 36 years since I got to see them during the "Vocalese" tour, at the Greek Theater in L.A. in '85. (and thank you Jill C. for introducing me to this incredible group of performers!!) - - Tim Hauser, you are missed!!

[@cjgaddy]

Just totally Incredible - Massively TALENTED Group of 4.

[@edoardoviola2325]

Quando fare musica e cantare era ancora un'arte. Fantastico!

[@rberliner6680]

Such an extraordinary thing grasp of musical modes and intervals. Such hard stuff, presented so flawlessly and joyously.

[@neilewart4347]

They always appear to be really enjoying performing . The quality is always breathtaking. Long may they continue.

[@donaldmccormack7580]

What really incredible musical control. Voice gymnastics !!. Thanks for a very special concert.

[@scott7008]

Lovely comment " vocal gymnastics" 👍👏

[@Drivethebeat]

Me at 4:00 in the morning trying to get Alexa to play "Vocalese" and the bitch never heard of it 😎 "I couldn't find that on Amazon Music". 🤨 Similar problem with Jon Kendricks (and Friends) "Freddy Freeloader"

[@thaddaeuswilson3248]

Very smooth, only The Manhattan Transfer can do this.❤

[@charleslopez3924]

Absolutely

[@birgitleimbach2279]

Their Stage ACT is terrific one top of their brillant voices !

[@juanquintana6070]

Unforgettable to see the Transfer live in Victoria (Spain) in 1987,doing all these songs.. When the spring comes, my heart sing "Joy spring", a celebration of the great Jon Hendricks. How can you write something like that, is out of my mind. Just a joy!!

[@galaxiehubba]

they are retiring , but we will have MT music forever 👍👍👍👍 + 👍(Tim)

[@seankm6nfo990]

God Bless Tim Hauser .

[@alohawaiist]

Wow, a magic of KZbin! This brings back my 25yo self at Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo!

[@rubi7974]

Simply phenomenal. Thank you very much for the quality link: I only knew the live album, but now I can enjoy the show entirely! 🙏🏿

[@philipashbourn1538]

I first heard the group on a juke box in a Lake District pub on a walking weekend on those wonderful mountains. The pub was a converted bank - yes banks were in deep shit all those years ago. Juke boxes had become rare then. I have always been a Woody Herman fan - saw them many times in the UK, Canada and US - and Four Brothers by MT was on the juke box. Put the money in and low and behold sounds of this wonderful version filled the pub. I became a life long fan there and then but sadly never saw them live. I had returned to the UK and marriage before they hit the scene.

[@frankiesmart1113]

I can't get enough of Manhattan Transfer.

[@sincocuerdas]

Me and my bandmates watched them at this same venue, the Sun Palace in 1982. We were in heaven as they opened with the same song, Four Brothers.

[@thaddaeuswilson3248]

That was some DAMN GOOD JAZZZZZ !!! Ray's Rockhouse was a SUPERB JAZZ, blending BLUES into BE-BOP with SWING rhythms !!! Great harmony and other voicing, worthy of TMT's awards and accolades...check out their awar-winning video of this outstanding swingin' jazz piece with excellent choreography, jazz band, acting and pretty good videography...can be found right here on YTube.

From the very start in '74, my dream, was to THE 5th member of TMT. Through the years, i'd try to figure out just what My voice & role would be. ------Truth be told, they've done just fine as a 4 piece quartet--------guess, they will have to have struggled on without me ! --------MJL, 76 y/o
