99.3 THE VINE Presents Manhattan Transfer

With special guest Kellie Fuller Trio.

Riding a wave of nostalgia in the '70s, the Manhattan Transfer resurrected jazz trends from boogie-woogie to bop to vocalese in a slick, slightly commercial setting that sometimes failed to gel with the group's close harmonies. Originally formed in 1969, the quartet recorded several albums of jazz standards as well as much material closer to R&B/pop. Still, they were easily the most popular jazz vocal group of their era, and the most talented of any since the heyday of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross during the early '60s.

Since the early 1970s, The Manhattan Transfer have been pushing and redefining the boundaries of vocal music in the context of jazz, pop and numerous other styles. Along the way they have earned themselves a healthy collection of Grammy Awards and a loyal fan base that spans the entire globe.

Don’t miss Manhattan Transfer on Friday, August 17th, 2012 at the Uptown Theatre. Doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 8:00 pm.
