Good... not great.

Review Score: (6/10)
I have been appreciative of Manhattan Transfer's contribution to music from day one of their existance. I respect any group that can sing Java Jive for 25+ years and still make it at least appear as if they enjoy singing it. However, the past few Best of... Very Best of... and now Swing with remakes of past tunes as well as new tunes that in my opinion lack the intense creativity displayed in the past--just listen to Vocalese to see what I mean--have disappointed this still loyal fan. It's good... not great. I do have to say, however, that I had second row seats to hear MT perform "Clouds" with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra... and that performance was delightful. Keep up the good work... sometimes LESS is MORE.
