At age 16 I had just started working in a kitchen at Disneyland. Manhattan Transfer came to do a performance in Tomorrowland, I ended up taking my 30 minute lunch to watch the show. Disneyland did not allow cast members to watch shows in the park nor were they allowed to take an hour to do so. I almost lost my job, but I learned to buy tickets to see MT in the future. Saw them in concert perhaps 20 more times, not risking my job anymore. I will miss their shows at Disneyland (on days off) in Vegas, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Tokyo, Seattle, London, Sydney. Thanks MT. You helped me plan vacations all over the world, built my music collection and taught me the American Song Book. You are missed.

I've been a fan of the Transfer since I was 10, and their first album was released. Yes, the one after Tubby the Tuba!! Seen them 5 times in concert over the years. They're getting on a bit now but their years, no make that decades, of experience, shines through in the sheer quality of their singing. In my opinion, still the worlds premier vocal group. I cried when Tim Hauser passed away. He was one of a kind. However, Triss Curless has stepped in to fill the bass part and he's doing a magnificent job. The Transfer still sound like the Transfer, even after all these years. Long may they reign as the best! I've been in a vocal group myself, so I have some experience with this kind of close harmony singing. When Janis belts out the last verse of Operator, or sings Mystery, or many other legendary songs, it still after all these years gives me goose bumps. Way to go!!

Love it. I miss Tim Hauser however Trist sounds like Tim. With my eyes closed I would have thought it was him. Janis, Cheryl and Paul of course were wonderful. They've still got it! Wow what an orchestra. Great concert - I hope they are all staying safe.

First heard them on TV in 1975 at the MDA telethon, I was nine, and literally mesmerized by them. I met Janice in 86 and had the privilege of singing with her! I've seen them in concert easi l y a dozen times and I absolute love them! I could have did this Medley with them due to how long I've been singing these wonderfully arranged tunes! Consistently awesome!!!! The new guy is good but I dearly miss Tim's personality!😢

The Transfer has "stayed the course" through it all. Even with the loss of Tim and earlier with Laurel's accident, the extraordinary quality of pure talent always continues. Cheryl and Trist have remained faithful to Tim's original vision for an innovative yet True Jazz Vocal Group with enormously versatile voices and creativity. Who would have thought a cabbie with a dream and three like minded, equally talented, and creative persons would have been a driving force behind some of the greatest music Worldwide crossing two Centuries. Many thanks for the Memories, Smiles, Tears, and Life! Tim Hauser - Mastermind Janis Siegel - Phenom the Alan Paul - Vocal Seducer Cheryl Bentyne - Songsiren Trist Curless - Amazing Laurel Masse - Songbird Through all these years who could ask for more!

I first discovered MT while searching the best big band performance of the famous masterpiece Birdland. Then I just dug in internet whether I could have a chance to watch them live one day in future, preferably in Turkey. I will be seeking such an opportunity, independent of location. I already know WDR and their excellent performances, but this concert seems to be unforgettable. Thank you, god save you!

No. That overpowering is just a natural fact cause they wouldn´t get a chance to be heard against an orchestra that size. It´s a matter of the PA engineer.

I'm a brass player by trade -- low brass, with the rest of the knuckledraggers, actually - but I have ALWAYS loved MHT. Hard not to. They are disciplined, but so willing to explore different sounds, different genres. SO excellent. (The new guy ain't so bad, either - lol) RIP Tim Hauser, but I am so pleased to see that MHT continues on. Tim would have like it that way too, I'm sure.

An excellent and polished performance by both the Orchestra and of course the MHT quartet. I don't like the sound mix of this recording though, the orchestra is too loud and covers the fine harmonies too often, leaving their voices sounding thin and spiky, which they certainly are not. A lovely experience it must have been for the audience present.

Don’t really agree with you when listening to this performance. I think it’s beautiful and appropriate. I did see them in Chicago Ravina before the pandemic and was somewhat disappointed. They were fantastic for almost their entire career. They helped me learn the American Songbook. Thank you MT. You will be missed.

Unlike Trust Charles, Tim Hauser had a wider range and could sing very low (Bass). This circumstance spoils the impression and the overall _picture_ with the "updated composition".
