omg their amazing

[MCRgirl1019]

They came and preformed at my school last week :D

[shizzles93]

Too bad they were eliminated. I felt like they dropped the ball on the rock challenge, but were so solid with this, "Cooler than Me," and "You Make My Dreams Come True." I wish we could have seen what they did with their medley challenge.

[tommydplayskeys]

Is that a cheeky Richard Bona quote at 2'40"? From his Djombwe/I Wish/Trains medley...

[MZNUTMAKEYABEG]

they should have won

[SK828]

Bring Back Randy Taylor! He was the groove.

[SuperGraphicMan]

This was one of my top 3 groups, along with Street Corner Symphony and Committed. But their jazz style is their strong point and their weakness. If they had maybe changed it up for the rock challenge they might have gotten through, but overall, I love this group.

Oh, and Stephanie's hot.

see, this is true, genuine acapella. I really liked the other groups on the show, because to create anything acapella that sounds good takes effort, good ear, and talent. However, these guys show us how a beatboxer truly isn't necessary to carry an acapella tune. With Jeff (the incredible bass) the rythem and groove (and backbeat) is all put together with the crispness of his lines, not the sound of someone's teeth, tongue, and the roof of one's mouth coming together to manufacture a beat

[rcsarver]

description erroneously recommends more upbeats. considers the enormous genre of jazz unique. F

[nozzyboibeats]

They should have added a beatboxer for this....would have killed it

[stardominic]

@nozzyboibeats yeah exactly why i think mrduckbear11 thinks it's not upbeat. it was well done, but a beatboxer would've killed it twice over.

[MariahnFulminate]

This group reminds me of "Take 6" and very early Manhatten Transfer. I live in Seattle and hope to see them perform sometime this winter. As a jazz fan I love them and wish they needed another soprano so I could play too.

[Sevencrazythings]

description fails. nice try tho.

[laxgoalie49]

kelly kunz was the clinician for the group im in about two months ago for a jazz festival and Brennan Baglio used to be in the group im in (the south kitsap highlighters) whooo! i love these guys!

They are excellent. I was sad to see them go no further in the show. Amanda is a special lady. Her killer sax vocalese riffs are very hot...so sad in "Changes", to drop a difficult unmusical lyric was difficult at the very critical spot. Poor thing.  I trust you will continue...Manhattan Transfer is alive... please continue ...bring many more great performances for people on the west coast.. Thanks. ND.
