JazzTimes (p.49) - "SONGBOOK opens and closes with a new Corea composition, 'Free Samba,' a trans-continental, perhaps even trans-planetary, exercise in soaring liberty that cleverly hints at the varied adventures it brackets."

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.
