Manhattan Transfer: VIBRATE
At long last, the Transfer has released a great album. As they have been around since 1972, they have recorded quite a few tunes. I think their greatest works are:
1. Vocalese
2. The Manhattan Transfer
3. Vibrate
4. & 5. (tie) The Offbeat of the Avenues and Brasil
Vibrate is really good because it captures the mood and essence of 2,4 and 5. On this CD, they really do the stuff they do best...a little avant garde, a little classic jazz, and some unexpected arrangements. This CD is very fresh,with great arrangements, surprising rhythm choices and containing a few tunes that will linger in your head all day ("Walking in New York"). I think that there is a Grammy in their future for Tutu, to match their Grammy for the similar "A Night in Tunisia."
I have great hopes for this CD. I hope it is well-received.
