The album VOCALESE has become known as The Manhattan Transfer's most critically acclaimed moment. "Vocalese" received 12 Grammy nominations, making it second only to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" as the most nominated single album ever. The album earned them Grammy Awards for "Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group" and "Best Vocal Arrangements for Voices" for Cheryl Bentyne and Bobby McFerrin for their work on the song "Another Night In Tunisia."
I know I'm old, but this music makes me feel younger. Just as long as I'm not in front of a mirror when I'm listening to it.
This is such a great performance,Janis has such a big voice,the whole thing really rocks!
Awesome
The term "Vocalese" refers to a style of music that sets lyrics to previously recorded jazz instrumental pieces. The vocal then reproduces the sound and feel of the original instrumentation. Jon Hendricks, the recognized master of this art, composed all the lyrics for the album.
Saw them at Starlight in KC. We had good seats, but a little toward the middle. Janice got off the stage and sat on some man's lap in the front row. I practically had to hold my husband by the hair to keep him from running up there. We both love this group.
Take it easy... I have kids who remember when this came out!
Our show choir did this!It totally rocked!I love this video!
I think that Manhattan Transfer is one of the greatest Jazz Be -Bop progressive Jazz vocal groups that was ever formed! Keep up the great work!
Saw them in Greensboro, N.C. so cool. Love this group.
I see them here in Auckland New Zealand in Feb at a really good venue.
yeaaaaah!
Love this song, have to agree with Chester on the Manhattan Transfer.
So sad about Tim Hauser - he'll be missed!
Just buy the `Vocalese´ CD.
The live version is much better than the studio version, which is slightly slower in beat.
I agree. I'd take a real funky drummer over a drum machine anyday.
anyone could tell me how I can find on youtube the studio version of this....?
Yeah, but he asked for the studio version. And I guess Vocalese is their best album ever.
