Manhattan Transfer at Pikes Peak Center Saturday

The Pikes Peak Center is delighted to welcome jazz/pop vocal group Manhattan Transfer to the Pikes Peak Center Saturday, August 21, 2010. Doors for this performance will open at 6:30 PM with the concert starting at 7:30 PM.

Manhattan Transfer has been described as innovative and genre-defying. They are the most respected and honored vocal quartet today. Vocalists Cheryl Bentyne, Janis Siegel, Alan Paul and Tim Hauser have been performing together since 1974 and continue to enlighten listeners by combining different genres. Manhattan Transfer is celebrating their 40th anniversary with the release of their highly anticipated album The Chick Corea Songbook. Their first album in five years was inspired by the remarkable works of jazz great Chick Corea, but the quartet adds an innovative interpretation to compositions like “ Spain” and “500 Miles High.”

Manhattan Transfer is a world-wide chart topping vocal group. Their success has allowed them to reach platinum status and make history in 1981 by becoming the first group to win a Grammy in both jazz and pop categories. Thus far, Manhattan Transfer has won 10 Grammys and has been nominated for 17. The release of their album Vocalese, became the second most honored album in pop history in 1985 and earned the group 12 Grammy nominations.  With the release of their fifth album, Extensions, Manhattan Transfer earned their first domestic pop hit for “Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone.” The group is also exceptionally successful in Europe where two of their albums, Coming Out and Pastiche, led them to numerous Top-10 hits.
