Tighter harmonies you'll never hear. As good as it gets.
They are pure class❤
I grew up on rock and Motown, I bought this album when I was 19. I don't know WHY I bought it, but when I put it on the turntable it blew my mind. Now that I'm in my 60's it STILL blows my mind. This album is sheer perfection.
Very Best of Manhattan Transfer - I wore out that cassette (this song especially) during my Army years, ‘86-‘89!
The vocal harmony is just the best to listen to.
I had no idea this had lyrics to it. I'm used to hearing it as an instrumental, usually by the legends of yesteryear such as Buddy Rich and Maynard Ferguson. (I love the latter's version of it especially.) But this is fantastic, too.
The Maynard version was the first song I ever transcribed, that final solo is unbelievable.
@@cartergeorge1545 I have to second you on that.
Believe it or not, the first time that I heard this song was on Soul Train, of all places. I was hooked after that despite all the rap music that was coming out at the time.
I don't believe it.
Who cares?!
The awesome Manhattan Transfer! And the great Jeff Porcaro on drums! No wonder this grooves so hard.
Takes me back, just to the perfect place, my heart and soul. Thank You M.H.T I will be hummin and bopping down memory lane, Godspeed
I was doing field work in the Nevada desert for the summer of 1984, and this was the tune I played the most on my Sony Walkman. It made the miles just fly by, and was a big part of one of my favorite summer experiences.
Bird heard it, band played it! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved Ralph Humphrey on drums on this and all he contributed to this world.
RIP Ralph.
Wunderschön Man
Soooooo nostalgic!!!
I love this song and this group
Love this. I was about 10 years old living in Manhattan listening to this. So much fun.
Same here, I wore that vinyl out
That final minute is totally exhilarating.😊
This Album was big when
I was a starting High School in 1981. Played it incessantly. Who knew it would take on a whole new meaning to an even much larger audience 30 minutes of that location - Final Tour Kickoff - South Florida State College- Highlands County. Twighlight Zone 2023
ウェザーリポートの曲ですが、見事にマッチしています。
I watched them perform this on a 1979 "American Bandstand" episode
This song is so great, Bird is Charlie Parker‼️🎯👍JazzyT.
This group is awesome! Incredible voices, great selections, fantastic musicians, phenomenal harmonies! Spectacular.
Friends listen to Sinatra. I prefer Manhattan Transfer. 😊
I remember seeing this group on Jerry Lewis Telethon one year and I fell in love! The harmonies; the timing; the arrangement is excellent!! This was a very nice nod to Wheather Report, I simply love it!
The vocalists did a fantastic job of accurately mimicking the instrumental parts of the original tune. 👍 🎵
Weather Report was put on the map because of that song and all of you accuanted the positive. Now that is priceless 🤗😎👍🎶🎶🎶
I have a question. There will be a dedication at Recreation Park in Binghamton, New York where Rod Serling was born and grew up. Would you consider playing your amazing song "Twilight Zone" . In September?. It's going to be a ons of a kind dedication as his statue will be on display. Think about it.
Terrific jazz group!!!!
i first hezrd thix song in a video where weather report performed it live and then when they did it live with tmt several years ago. it rocked then, too!!!!
Weather Report is the original. This is the cover.
Down in Birdland 🎶
This was on one of our first CDs ever in '83 or '84: Manhattan Transfer's Greatest Hits.
I'm from the hip hop era, but It's time for a revival. Good stuff ! Long Live Bebop !!
...or, in this case, Fusion :)
@@Dee-x9f Actually in this case it's probably closer to bebop ;) But really this version is both and neither!
@@gunnargrimsson To Be or not to Bop. That is the question...

Birdland Lyrics
5,000 light years from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rhythm
Long-gone, uptight years from Birdland
An' I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years from the land of the Bird
An' I am still feelin' the spirit
5,000 light years from Birdland
But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, Bird made it, Bird heard it, then played it
Well-stated! Birdland--
It happened down in Birdland
Oh!
In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on fifty-secon' street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rhythm swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
See pop shows near Inglewood
Get tickets as low as $118

An' the cats they gigged in there
Were beyond compare
Birdland - I'm singin' Birdland
Birdland - Ol' swingin' Birdland
Hey, man, the music really turns you on!
Y' turn me on
Really, y' turn me aroun'
'N turn me on
Down them stairs, lose them cares - where?
Down in Birdland
Total swing, bop was king - there
Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look - where?
Down in Birdland
Miles came through, 'Trane came too - there
Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakey too - where?
Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall - there
Down in Birdland
Yeah---
There may never be nothin' such as that
No Mo' - No Mo'
Down in Birdland, that's where it was at
I know - I know
Back in them days bop was ridin' high
Hello! 'n goodbye!
How well those cats remember
Their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah---that club was like--
In another world, sure enough--
Yeah, baby
All o' the cats had the cookin' on
People just sat an' they was steady lookin' on
Then Bird--he came 'n spread the word--
Birdland
Yes, indeed, he did
Yes, indeed, he did
Yes, indeed, he did
Yes, he did, Parker played at Birdland
Yes, he really did
Yes, indeed, he really did
Yes, he really did
Told the truth down in Birdland
Yes, indeed he did, Yardbird Parker played in
Birdland
Yes, indeed, he really did
Charlie Parker played in Birdland
Bird named it, Bird made it, Bird heard it
Then played it
Well-stated! Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
Everybody dug that beat
Everybody stomped their feet
Everybody digs be-bop
An' they'll never stop
Down them stairs, lose them cares - yeah!
Down in Birdland
Total swing! bop was king - yeah!
Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look - yeah
Down in Birdland
Miles came through, 'Trane came too - yeah!

Background Solo:
Come in pairs down them stairs, lose y' cares
Them that dares gits it!
Pay the gate, don't be late
It's a date! - whattay' know
If y' dig, then you'll dig, it's a groove
Quite a groove, 'cause y' t' move
Come in twos, pay your dues
What can you lose?
Just your blues!
So lose them!
The band swingin' one and all and what a ball!
Yeah!
Music is good, music is better than good
Pretty good
Very nice
Really very good - things are bein' like they should
Very good -- very good -- very good
All y' gotta do is lend an ear
An' listen to it
Then y' dig a little sooner than soon
You'll be diggin' everything diggin' all the music
What a ball!
How y' gonna figure out
A way t' bring it all about amid a
Lot o' other music on the set'n on
The scene know what I mean?
How y' gonna separate the music from the scene
'Gonna have t' keep the memory clean
Y' gonna hear a lotta' sound -- a lotta soun'
“Birdland” lyrics by Jon Hendricks, music by Joe Zawinul.

Grew up with this band... Absolute genius class act.

🤩
Sounds a lot like “The Street-corner Symphony “
Remember Lucious Boomers Stl. Favorite
Damn I wasn't sure what to expect from a vocal version of Birdland (I'm kind of a jazz purist who prefers purely instrumental versions of things) but this isn't bad, no siree.
