The real best of the Manhattan Transfer

Review Score: (10/10)
My favorite Manhattan Transfer tune of all time is not on this album, and not on "The Best of" album, either; it's Basie's "Corner Pocket" from "Mecca for Moderns." But overall, this is the most even, balanced Transfer album of all. Jon Hendricks wrote some terrific words for the Transfer to sing, and the group really shows their chops on tunes like "Sing Joy Spring", "Move" and "Bennie Bailey." If you can find it, check out this album on video; the Transfer did a hilarious send-up of "The Lucy Show" on "Blee Blop Blues." Cheryl Bentine does a dead-on of Lucy. Overall, highly recommended for fans of this genre.
