Manhattan Transfer

The Christmas Album

There just aren't enough o's in snooooooooozer.....

Review Score: (2/10)
I love the Manhattan Transfer, but this should really be called Manhattan Transfer's Slow and Drippy Christmas Album. There is really nothing uplifting or spirit-filled about this collection. Their tight, harmonic talents are wasted when each song is so slow and one dimensional.

OK if you want schmaltzy...not if you want "jazzy"

I had hoped for something along the lines of a Take 6ish sound with lots of scat singing...vocal improvisation, swing inspired vocalese. Y'k [ ... read complete review ]
