About this album

Extensions is a sharp, ambitious statement from The Manhattan Transfer, blending jazz sophistication with polished pop vocal arranging. Released in 1979, the album helped confirm the group as one of the era’s most accomplished harmony acts, with intricate ensemble singing, tight rhythm feel and a repertoire that moves easily between swing, jazz standard material and contemporary crossover songcraft. Its best-known moment is 'Birdland', the joyous Weather Report cover that became one of the group’s signature recordings and earned a Grammy Award. The album shows how The Manhattan Transfer turned vocal precision into mainstream appeal without losing musical detail or swing.
