Buddy Guy
-
Whether blues guitar legend Buddy Guy is playing a lick behind his back, picking strings with his teeth, “singing with gentle menace or bending new curves into a blue note” (The New York Times), his electrifying live performances showcase his incendiary style that altered the direction of the instrument. A pioneer of electric blues, Guy’s name is as synonymous with the great generation of musicians he played with (Muddy Waters; Howlin’ Wolf) as with the rock titans he influenced (Jimi Hendrix; Eric Clapton). An American treasure with a career spanning six decades, his recent work is some of his richest music yet, confirming that “Guy is the greatest living Chicago bluesman, and one of the most influential guitar players ever” (Rolling Stone).

Manhattan Transfer
-
It's been nearly 45 years since Tim Hauser set out to form a harmony vocal quartet sui generis that could authentically embrace varied musical styles, and still create something wholly unique in the field of American popular song. Today, after Grammy Awards by the dozen, worldwide sales in the millions of hits like "The Boy From New York City," "Birdland," "Java Jive," "Tuxedo Junction" and "Operator," Now consisting of Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Curless (bass) who replaced Hauser following his passing on October 16, 2014, The Manhattan Transfer remain restless, adventurous, limitless and, as the Philadelphia Inquirer so aptly put it, a group that "still can sound dangerous!"
