It's been nearly 45 years since Tim Hauser set out to form a harmony vocal quartet sui generis that could authentically embrace varied musical styles, and still create something wholly unique in the field of American popular song. Today, after Grammy Awards by the dozen, worldwide sales in the millions of hits like "The Boy From New York City," "Birdland," "Java Jive," "Tuxedo Junction" and "Operator," Now consisting of Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Curless (bass) who replaced Hauser following his passing on October 16, 2014, The Manhattan Transfer remain restless, adventurous, limitless and, as the Philadelphia Inquirer so aptly put it, a group that "still can sound dangerous!"
