The Definitive Pop Collection compiles a superb cross section of vocal jazz group the Manhattan Transfer's best recordings from 1975 to 2006. Included are such standout tracks as the ensemble's classic version of Joe Zawinul's "Birdland" and cheeky take on the TV theme "Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone," as well as "Tuxedo Junction," "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," and others. Even though there are other fine single-disc collections, this two-disc anthology really does stand out as a definitive overview of the influential vocal quartet's work. ~ Matt Collar

The Manhattan Transfer are one of the most popular and acclaimed vocal ensembles in all of contemporary music, with numerous platinum albums and eight Grammy Awards to their credit. While jazz is now only a part of their repertoire (pop, R&B, Brazilian, and doo-wop stylings have added to their far-reaching appeal), when the group first formed, the idea was to arrange their voices as if they were the saxophone section of the Basie Big Band. Their best work in the jazz realm also features the contributions of lyricist and fellow singer Jon Hendricks.
