With over 28 albums, 10 Grammy Awards and performance tours around the world, Manhattan Transfer has thrilled audiences with their renditions of jazz standards such as Bird Land, doo-wop hits like Boy From New York City and the iconic pop tunes Twilight Zone and Route 66. Manhattan Transfer has been spinning their jazz and pop magic for over twenty five years bringing audiences to their feet every time.

Grammy-Award winning jazz/pop vocal group, The Manhattan Transfer celebrate their 40th Anniversary with the highly anticipated release of The Chick Corea Songbook. The Chick Corea Songbook, which marks the highly innovative vocal quartet's first new record in five years, was inspired by the classic work of jazz great Chick Corea, and features fresh and exciting vocal interpretations of many of his popular compositions, including "Spain" and "500 Miles High." Corea, who plays on the CD, has also contributed an original composition entitled "Free Samba" especially for this album. The forthcoming release also features special guest appearances by some of the finest musicians in the industry including Christian McBride, Airto, Alex Acuña, Fred Hersch, Edsel Gomez and Lou Marini among others.

The platinum selling, world-wide chart topping super group, widely renowned for broadening the musical landscape with their innovative, genre defying sound, made Grammy history in 1981 by becoming the first group to win Grammys simultaneously in both the jazz and pop categories. The group also put out the second most honored album in pop history in 1985 with Vocalese, earning an impressive 12 Grammy nominations, surpassed only by Michael Jackson's Thriller at the time. Produced by Tim Hauser, Vocalese become known as the group's tour de force effort, with Jon Hendricks, the recognized master of this art, composing all of the lyrics for the album. To date, The Manhattan Transfer has won 10 Grammys and has been nominated for 17. The Manhattan Transfer is Cheryl Bentyne, vocals; Tim Hauser, vocals; Alan Paul, vocals; and Janis Siegel, vocals. The group remains a major staple both within the jazz community and the mainstream music community, as they continue to enlighten listeners by bringing different genres of music to the forefront of the jazz.
