September 22, 2009: Over the last several decades, Chick Corea has composed fantastic genre defining music. Chick has been equally proficient as a composer and performer of straight ahead jazz, Jazz/Rock Fusion, Latin Jazz and Jazz/World fusion. Vocal jazz is not what he has been known for though. The Manhattan Transfer, working in conjunction with Chick, are about to change that. This album, the groups first for the great Four Quarters label, features challenging but accessible vocal arrangements of eleven Corea compositions including the new tune, Free Samba. The arrangements, production and music are all top notch, and the groups' vocals have nver sounded better. A special treat is new lyrics for two songs, "Another Roadside Attraction" and "One Step Closer" were co-written by Van Dyke Parks. This album is simply a must for any fan of jazz and great vocal music. Congratulations Manhattan Transfer on 40 years of making fantastic music.
