Notes on the album…

The Christmas Album was the second of two albums that The Manhattan Transfer did for Columbia Records and it quickly became a holiday classic. The album was co-produced by Tim Hauser and Johnny Mandel and features special guest Tony Bennett on “The Christmas Song.” The song “Goodnight” is the Lennon/McCartney classic and marks the only Manhattan Transfer recording of a song by The Beatles (although Janis Siegel did record “For No One” with Fred Hersch on the album Slow Hot Wind).

    I love your mellow harmony and rich blend of love that hides your separate voices into one
    whole sound and yet is unable to conceal your distinct beauty as individuals. I love to sing while walking alone by a river with these sounds filling my inner hearing.

    I have become a fan at the end of the 1980′s. Saw you at North Sea Jazz Festival many, many years ago, when it was still held in The Hague/The Netherlands. And I am listening to your Christmas Album, again, that I got as a present in 1992, I think. Still enjoying your music very much. Hope to see you again one day, and all the best to Chery. Merry Christmans and a healthy 2012!

    I’ve listened to The Christmas Album so many times, and every time I listen to track 8, my 73 years old eyes water up. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas gift!

    Dear TMT: Just discovering this album 20 years after you recorded it and it has filled our home with the intended spirit. Your collection of recordings are timeless gems, certain to be classics, each and every one.
    Thank you all! I’m sure your sweet harmonies will be enjoyed by our children’s children’s children.
    — Guy

    This is by far in the top ten of my favorite Christmas albums. This one always gets me in the Christmas spirit. I just wish there were liner notes with arrangers and musicians. Thanx for all you do! Merry Christmas to you all,
