The Manhattan Transfer

Vinyl LP.

Mycket gott skick. LP, Atlantic SD 18133 (1975 / 1975). Sånggruppen Manhattan Transfers första Atlantic-LP, där de fortfarande rider på en slags nostalgi-våg. I kvartetten ingick här Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, Laurel Massé och Tim Hauser. Diskografiska uppgifter på konvolutet."..."You Can Depend Upon Me" is a lively precursor of vocalese triumphs to come, enlivened by a brief solo from Zoot Sims, and there are subdued reminders of their jazz roots on "Tuxedo Junction." But the object of the latter exercise was to bring back sweet memories, specifically of a wartime era evoked more explicitly by the unctuous, sugary rendition of "Candy." Nothing if not eclectic even then, the Transfer also evokes the Ink Spots, 1940s jive, 1950s doo wop, New Orleans funk, even 1975 with the proto-disco "Clap Your Hands." Yet the net results usually seem calculated, not fresh and innocent. Best bet: Seek out the originals and sample later Transfer projects first." (Richard S.
