    Jon Hendricks & The Manhattan Transfer

    Vocalese master Jon Hendricks sings Airegin with The Manhattan Transfer at Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival (July 19th 1991)

    ohd00bley said:

    @balhisay Indeed! I had the pleasure of seeing Jon, Janis, Dianne Reeves and Bobby McFerrin sing as a quartet years ago in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall. Tim Hauser joined later. Great singing all around.

      music vid of BNH's version of Maria Mauldar's hit 'Midnight @ the Oasis'.

      enjoy!

      As much as I like N'dea Davenport voice, I was expecting not to like this 'cause I like Maria Muldars versions so well. Good cover.

      The title pretty much says it...for the record, i do go through the comments almost everyday and any comments with a negative rating will be deleted.

      ohd00bley said:

      @imPR3TTYBLacK I agree. Though I may like the music when I was a teen (the 70's) better. That's mostly nostalgia. There are a lot of very talented musicians and singers today and there have always been best selling talentless folks. My parents now in their 80's criticized the music the ...

      ohd00bley said:

      @LamontCJ True. I'm a Patti Austin fan more so than Michael Jackson, but upon initial hearing I could hardly decipher who was who on their duet "It's the falling in Love" on Michael's "Off the Wall" LP.

    • ohd00bley said:

      Thanks to Patti Austin, the vocal contractor on this album. This was the first time I heard Luther Vandross and Gwen Guthrie sing solos, and for me one their best vocal performances. This was after years of reading their names as background vocalist.

      @taeatl You're correct many can match her range. What IMO makes Minnie special is that I haven't heard anyone in popular music that matches her control, clarity and enunciation. No doubt Rachelle Ferrell has a tremendous voice. As of yet I haven't heard anyone who can surpass (popular music)...

      Thanks for posting, great vocal cover of Herbie Hancock's song. Redd, Hedwig & Crossley made a damn good LP. Glad you made the David Rubinson connection.

    • ohd00bley said:

      For my hears the definitive version is sung by Dee Dee Bridgewater, the reason she won the Tony for her performance in the original Broadway version of The Wiz. Bridgewater also did a better (IMO) version of "If this what Feeling Gets," from the movie.

    Producer: David Rubinson and Friends. Same producer of LaBelle's Chameleon album, early Pointer Sister's Albums, Redd, Hedwig and Crossley album and others. For my ear's Patti's first two LPs are her best.

      "no child was traumatized by this..."

      I agree. What is harmful about a nude human body? Nudity is not sex and sex is is not wrong unless, IMO, it is nonconsensual or forced in an unequal (mental or physical) manner.

      It still does amaze me that folks "thinking" (if that's wha...
