This is a small segment from a full-length interview with Manhattan Transfer member Tim Hauser. Here he talks about his early musical interests and influences including songs and artists in the fields of rhythm & blues, jazz & folk.
A sad loss to American Music. He produced many of the Manhattan Transfer albums---each new one taking of a new, and welcome, hue to their magnificent music color palette. His style and musical ear will delight and inspire generation to come. He was truly "the Boss with the Sauce!" RIP, Mr. Hauser from Portland, Maine
Thank you so much for sharing this! Tim, you where awesome, and you always will be. Heaven has a singer and I hope to hear you again when my time comes. 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😃

Stylist or jazz singer? Listen to Sinatra do six versions of "Night and Day." Each is different from the others and unique, yet "The Voice" (Sinatra's moniker in the '40s) and "Master Storyteller" (his title in the '50s) inhabits and possesses the song as though he wrote it. In fact, he deserves the most credit for creating the Great American Songbook. Make no mistake: Sinatra was a jazz singer. No one swung harder, mastered musical diction and phrased with the elocution of Ole Blue. Even I can "scat" (try it--it's a no brainer). But I can't sing like Sinatra.
