Grammy Award Nomination, 2023 – Best Jazz Vocal Album
Fifty
The Manhattan Transfer With The WDR Funkhausorchester
Collectively ten-time GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal group The Manhattan Transfer celebrates its 50th anniversary with a new studio album, aptly titled Fifty. The 10-track set finds the best-selling act partnering with Germany’s renowned WDR Funkhausorchester Köln (WDR Radio Orchestra Cologne), plus symphony arrangers including GRAMMY® Award winners Jorge Callandreli and Vince Mendoza, as well as vocal arrangers including Amanda Taylor of säje, to revisit their biggest hits from throughout the decades, including new arrangements of “Chanson D’Amour,” “Twilight Zone / Twilight Tone” and “The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul.”
Recorded across multiple continents during lockdown, the album was inspired after The Manhattan Transfer performed a sold-out concert in Cologne with the WDR Funkhausorchester Köln in January 2020. As co-founder Alan Paul recalls in his liner notes, “The collaboration between the group and the symphony was such an exhilarating and enjoyable experience that we all thought it would be wonderful to do a recording project together.” But when a pandemic shut down global travel, things became a bit more complicated. Guided by vocal producer Dave Thomas (of Take 6), the recording was completed in stages, with a rhythm section recording in New Jersey and Manhattan and the symphony working on their parts in isolated sections at the WDR studios.
