Celebrating their 45th anniversary in 2017, The Manhattan Transfer continues to set the standard as one of the world's greatest and most innovative vocal groups. Winners of ten Grammy Awards, with millions of records sold worldwide, this amazing quartet is building upon the extraordinary legacy created by founder Tim Hauser who organized the four-part harmony group on October 1, 1972 in New York City. Now consisting of Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Curless (bass) who replaced Hauser following the latter's passing on October 16, 2014, the group is proud to extend Hauser's vision more than four decades later.

A blend of jazz and pop harmony with a largely unparalleled command of styles including vocalese (the singing of lyrics to tunes initially composed as instrumental works) made the Transfer — Bentyne, Janis Siegel, Alan Paul and Trist Curless — one of the most distinctive vocal groups of the past four decades.*

In 2016, Johnson announced in an interview that the band is expected to begin recording its sixth studio album with producer Mitch Easter in the fall. On April 1, 2017, at a concert in Niagara Falls, Ontario singer Robin Wilson confirmed a new album has been completed but no date for release is announced as of yet.
