You've Heard The Rest.. Now Hear The Best

Review Score: (10/10)
Ok.. Squirrel Nut Zippers are cute. Big Bad VooDoo Daddy was in "Swingers." Cherry Popping Daddies are on the TV. Big deal. Put 'em all together, and you'll never get close to the near perfection of The Manhattan Transfer's "Swing." This is the Swing that your grandparents talked about with the Transfer's gorgeous vocals mixed in to put any of the modern Swing groups to shame. Their rendition of "A'Tisket A'Tasket" is full of so much spunk, it should be a registered weapon. Many of the songs (from what I understand) utilize the Jazz tradition of Vocalese, where lyrics are created to match the instrumental music... many times getting close to IMPROVING on a number of favorites. You're into Swing? Fine... put up or shut up. Get this album. You will never be disappointed.
