It's been more than 28 years since Tim Hauser paid his
bills by working both as a marketing executive and a New
York cabbie with dreams of creating a vocal group. One
night in 1972, Hauser's taxi fare was an aspiring singer
named Laurel Massé, who was familiar with JUKIN', an album
Hauser had made with an earlier Manhattan Transfer combo. A
few weeks later Hauser met Janis Siegel at a party.
Although Siegel was then performing with another folk

nascent group.

Broadway, appearing in the original production of "Grease".

------ About the song JAVA JIVE performed by Manhattan Transfer
As a child growing up in the 1940's I heard the Inspots sing 'Java jive' ??? i remeber thinking what's all that about? Then in the 1970's when Manhattan Transfer reinvented the piece it took on a whole new meaning. Tom, Janis, Cheryl and Alan just give any song they sing a whole new universe!!! I still cry when I heard Janis'"Walk in Love". LONG MAY THEY SING. For those that haven't seen clips check them out on YouTube.

------ About the song BIRDLAND performed by Manhattan Transfer
It's amasing how easy it is just to "groove" to this version of Birdland. It must have been a challenge.
We recieved this piece in band... and now I have a higher respect for this song.
This is a great song... hopefully it will get popular... I'd love to hear it more!
