The Manhattan Transfer Bio
The Manhattan Transfer is a jazz vocal group founded in 1969. Their sound explores a cappella, swing, Brazilian jazz, blues, and pop music. The band has had two different conformations, and Tim Hauser is the only member who took part in both. When the band began it consisted of Tim Hauser, Erin Dickins, Marty Nelson, Pat Rosalia, and Gene Pistilli. After the reconfiguration of the group the band was composed of Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, and Laurel Massé. The band was founded in 1969 in New York City by Tim Hauser. They released a single album “Jukin” in 1971 and then broke in 1973, only to reappear a short time after with the new members. After a few years the band got further recognition with several Grammy Awards, the first of which was received in 1980 for “Mecca for Moderns”, and they subsequently won the Grammy for Best Jazz, Duo, or Group Vocal Performance for their version of the song “Route 66” from 1982. Tim Hauser died in 2014 and the group chose Trist Curless as the lead of the band.
