Review by Scott Yanow
On this continually interesting CD, the Manhattan Transfer revisits tunes from the swing era, in some
cases re-creating (through vocalese) specific recordings. Benny Goodman's 1935 version of "King
Porter Stomp," Bennie Moten's 1932 recording of "Moten's Swing," Glenn Miller's "I Know Why,"
Charlie Barnet's "Skyliner," and Fletcher Henderson's exciting arrangement of "Down South Camp
Meetin'" are among the many highlights. The vocals are superb (particularly Janis Siegel and Cheryl
Bentyne), although one wishes that the individual members had more of a chance to improvise within
the style. The backup groups are different than one would expect, including the Western swing band
Asleep at the Wheel, violinist Mark O'Connor (Stéphane Grappelli makes a special appearance on
"Clouds"), and steel guitarist Buddy Emmons. Recommended.
