From their first mid-'70s hits forward, the Manhattan Transfer has gone from strength to strength, extending their reach into R&B, Jazz, Brazilian pop, and even the vocal equivalent of fusion. “The Manhattan Transfer Antology: Down in Birdlandâ€: This two-volume Rhino retrospective brings back their biggest hits and concert faves focusing on their long career at Atlantic Records, where they did their best work, and is correspondingly ripe with gorgeous group and solo vocals.
