The Manhattan Transfer Anthology: Down In Birdland is a two-CD collection from 1992 showcasing the vocal group’s extensive catalog at Atlantic Records. Founded by Tim Hauser in the early 1970s, The Manhattan Transfer evolved from a campy take on pre-rock pop into serious practitioners of closely-arranged choral music, branching into R&B, jazz, Brazilian pop, and vocal fusion along the way. This anthology captures their journey through carefully selected tracks that highlight both group harmonies and solo performances across their career.

Released as a two-disc CD set, this compilation draws from The Manhattan Transfer’s most accomplished period on Atlantic Records, featuring songs like “Trickle Trickle,” “Gloria,” “Operator,” “Ray’s Rockhouse,” and a live version of “Heart’s Desire” alongside covers including “Route 66.” The collection spans their evolution as one of pop music’s most versatile vocal ensembles. Own this anthology of gorgeous arrangements and skilled vocal work at a used price.
