About this album
Mecca For Moderns is a polished high point in The Manhattan Transfer’s jazz-pop career, balancing tight vocal harmony with sharper pop instincts. Released in 1981, the album pushed the group further into the mainstream while keeping their jazz phrasing, swing feel and intricate arrangements at the centre. Its biggest success came with 'The Boy from New York City', a major hit that helped define the record’s crossover appeal, but the album also moves confidently through standards, sophisticated pop and playful original material. Elegant, assured and musically agile, it shows why the group became one of the most distinctive vocal acts of the era.
