Vinyl LP.

Nära nyskick. LP, Atlantic 78 17231 (1986 / 1987). Manhattan Transfer live i Sun Plaza Hall, Tokyo. Gruppen bestod här av Cheryl Bentyne, Tim Hauser, Alan Paul och Janis Siegel. Med sig hade de Yaron Gershovsky keyb, Alex Blake b, Wayne Johnson g, Don Roberts reeds och Buddy Williams dr/BX-1."...mostly a live version of Vocalese ”” eight of its 11 tracks are reprised ”” which is perhaps redundant, but just the act of hearing the foursome perform these often-difficult Jon Hendricks-lyricized selections without a net adds to listeners' respect. "Airegin" is particularly challenging ”” and yes, they pull it off quite deftly, though without Hendricks' bitter final verse ”” and "That's Killer Joe" and "Move" have all of the electricity of the studio versions....Casual listeners who already bought Vocalese don't need this, and the fanatics will have to have it in any case, yet those who have neither album will get a good idea of the excitement that the Transfer could inspire in their hot 1980s creative period."
