The Manhattan Transfer - Old Grey Whistle Test, BBC Televison Theatre, London, Britain, 2-22-1977

I mentioned recently that I found a bunch of episodes of the "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC TV show. Here's another one of those. It's a short concert by the Manhattan Transfer from 1977.

This group was pretty different compared to most music in the era. It's hard to describe what they were doing, but I think the best word is "retro." They played a variety of styles from earlier decades, such as vocal jazz, vocalese, swing, acappella, and rhythm and blues. Pretty much everything they did were cover versions.

Here's their Wikipedia entry, if you want to know more:
