Great set list! Thanks for posting.
Guitarist Adam Hawley is currently touring with Jennifer
Lopez as part of her band, which justifies his absence
at the BB King's concert.

Hi, Janette!

According to CB's Facebook post, she mentioned that Margaret Dorn's
last show would be on June 30th., so hopefully you'll see Cheryl perform
live at the festival :-). BTW, here's the link in case anyone needs to
purchase tickets:

Cheryl Bentyne & City of Hope All-Star Jazz Benefit
Catalina Jazz Club
Hollywood, CA
August 11, 2012

By CARL L. HAGER

After kicking off Saturday night's festivities with a hard-charging version of
Cole Porter's "It's Alright With Me," a beaming Cheryl Bentyne welcomed Catalina
Jazz Club's capacity audience by effusing over the wide array of talent that had
assembled for the occasion. Event musical director Ted Howe was poised at the
grand piano and ready to swing, with performers like singers Lorraine Feather,
Gina Eckstine and Mark Winkler, and trombonist Bob McChesney waiting in the
wings.

The up-tempo, finger-snapping atmosphere Bentyne had created in the space of
four minutes was uniquely indicative of whose life was being celebrated. Her
long recovery from serious illness hadn't diminished her legendary drive a bit,
and that's saying something—since January of this year the
multiple-Grammy-winning soprano had been undergoing treatment for Hodgkins
lymphoma, and tonight she was celebrating having successfully dealt with it at
the City of Hope, a cancer research and treatment center north of Los Angeles.
Was the vivacious song stylist looking wan and sounding like a shadow of her
former self? Would this be a solemnly serious occasion? Forget about it.

"This is like one of those old variety shows that aren't around anymore,"
Bentyne declared after finishing her first song, grinning that famous grin as
she opened the combination fundraiser and release party for her new CD Let's
Misbehave: the Cole Porter Songbook (Summit, 2012). "But they're back, and here
to stay."

With that, the artist delivered on her promise by sailing into another pair of
tunes from the recording, "It's Delovely" and "Let's Misbehave," caressing
Porter's famously fun-loving and life-embracing lyrics with an enthusiasm and
energy that sent a warming frisson of electricity through the crowd. It is
certain no one was left thinking this would be just another polite jazz concert,
suitable for the hardwood floors of a recital hall. All who knew her for the
sensation she had created with The Manhattan Transfer in 1979 when she joined
Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul, and helped usher in a decade of the most
memorable vocal jazz since Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, and again with her solo
debut on the Mark Isham-produced Something Cool (Columbia, 1992), were treated
to the best news possible. Cheryl Bentyne was well and truly back.

Frequent Bentyne collaborator Mark Winkler and Charmaine Clamor, an L.A. area
notable, did a memorably campy version of his composition "Sweet Spot," a nice
piece of writing that the duo played for all it was worth. But it was Gina
Eckstine, daughter of iconic singer and big band pioneer Billy Eckstine, who got
the show revved up into a higher gear and rolling in earnest. Not only did this
mysteriously underrated singer take command of the stage as she embraced the
audience, her power and control were something to behold. She is that rare
vocalist who can find a note and sustain it without losing a bit of steam, and
without the wavering pitch problems that overcome many a lesser singer.

Quite aside from her technical skills, Eckstine's performance was reminiscent of
a bygone era when the blues was not an intellectual exercise, but a feeling, and
when jazz was a music that gave people emotional release and made them happy. So
when she grabbed the microphone and took on her father's "Prisoner of Love" and
"I Apologize," she did it with the authority and presence of big band-era
singers like Ella Fitzgerald. With more exposure, this singer could easily be
trumping the pale offerings of the thin-voiced waifs who struggle to find middle
C.

The dynamic seesaw of the evening's program dipped and slowed a bit with the
man-and-wife duo of singer Andrea Baker and reed man Steve Wilkerson, with tunes
like Baker's cool, throaty rendition of "I've Got the World On A String" and
Wilkerson's variously fiery, albeit unobtrusive ascents on the clarinet, music
played with a gracious gentleness that worked well in leavening the many
high-powered performances.

What Baker and Wilkerson were also able to accomplish artistically was a
sideways introduction to Lorraine Feather's inimitable songwriting and singing.
Feather is a recording artist whose skills as a raconteur are on a par with Dave
Frishberg or Mose Allison and who, in live performance, is a naturally facile
improvising storyteller and word-player. Devoted fans know this from a few of
her recorded musings, but those who have heard nothing but the "radio hits"
selected by programming directors might not know the treasures to be heard in a
live setting. With her typically lazy-eyed sotto voce, she led off her
performance with a wry, understated preamble to "Antarctica," her hilarious
lyrical collaboration with Duke Ellington's composition "The Ricitic," that left
the assembled alternately smiling and laughing out loud. Her classic commentary
on the frozen tundra of love's Iditarod was followed by "Love Call," another
lyricizing of an Ellington tune, "Creole Love Call," and while the original has
certainly gotten more airplay, it would be tempting to say that until one has
heard Feather's heart-rending soprano and lyrics paired with the master's
composition, one really hasn't heard it all.

The evening continued with the meandering gutbucket-to-bebop ruminations of Bob
McChesney, a busy session trombonist who has played with everyone from pianist
Horace Silver to singer Ray Charles, then went late into the evening with a
raffle, a solo appearance from Clamor doing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," a
standup comic, L.A.-based singer Dolores Scozzesi (known for her interpretation
of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee"), and even more—those who were able to
stay for it all said it ended as well as it had started. Thanks largely to the
tireless work and promotional skills of producer/publicist Rob Lowe and his wife
Brinka Olberding—whose organization Casting New Lives is home to a number of
jazz artists—and emcee Elizabeth Zero's wit and pace, the event was a confirmed
success.

All the proceeds from this and the Friday performance went to benefit the City
of Hope, an organization whose efforts helped save the life of a national
treasure, and those in attendance were treated to a style and quality of music
sorely absent from today's music scene. The soaring soprano range and chutzpah
of Cheryl Bentyne melted our hearts once again, and more than that, assured us
that she would be back to melt them again.

As a footnote to the night's events, there is the lingering feeling that
Bentyne's prediction, while making introductions earlier in the evening—that the
variety show is back and here to stay—might be prophetic. Or at least a
self-fulfilling prophesy. Could this resilient redhead be right?

Crazier things have happened. Who would ever have predicted that smack in the
middle of the often bleak synthesizer-and-drum-machine landscape of 1980s music,
Manhattan Transfer's two girls and two guys would ride to the rescue by doing
bop-inflected vocalese, and be the hottest thing in jazz?

Variety is the proverbial spice of life. It's why a festival still works even in
economically depressed times. Whereas someone might hesitate to purchase a $35
ticket to see a big act, that hesitation often evaporates when it means seeing
six of them. Moreover, what sums up those concepts that define jazz—the mixing
it up with inclusiveness, innovation, unpredictability, improvisation and an
unbridled joie de vivre—better than the idea of variety? What if the spectacular
stage and television variety shows of the 1960s, jazz's answer to the
rock-and-roll invasion, really were to stage a comeback because they had been
here all along, and here to stay?

The divine Ms. B. could be onto something.

Hi, pufnstuf!

I don't own the DVD that you request, but have seen it for sale online (yes, a
pirated copy; hence I won't publish the link). Perhaps a fellow ManTranite would
be willing to share it with you :-).

Are you sure that has really been officially released a dvd of a MT's concert in
1998??? As far as I know (and I'm a serious record collector), I've never seen
it anywhere - either eBay or Amazon - unless we're talking about an event filmed
for internal purposes and not for resale and then copied onto a digital media.
The only official videos of MT's concerts released so far are their US tv
concert of 1981 (laserdisc and vhs, the latter also known as  "Live in
Chicago"), a japanese vhs named "TMT live in Japan" filmed perhaps in 1982/1983,
Vocalese live 1986, The Christmas concert and the latest Time magazine
infomercial.
Apart from the "Vocalese" videoclips and a self produced dvd from a live
performance at the Java Jazz Festival, I don't know any other official item
released in the meanwhile.
Cheers,

Marco

Two weeks ago I saw what I think was my 20th Transfer show and it was an
especially memorable one. It was my first show with Cheryl after her recovery
and the energy level, especially Cheryl's, was stratospheric. The crowd demanded
and received a second encore.  (I saw them at the Birchmere once before, in
2005, and the venue seems to draw an audience  of very hardcore MT fans).

Cheryl's version of Tutu stopped the show and she seemed emotionally overwhelmed
afterward, as Janis commented on what an exceptional performance it was. I was
really thrilled to hear Benny Bailey back in the set. It was a slightly more
swinging and restrained take than how they did it in the 80s. Buddy Wiliams was
on drums, which sounded a bit different--Soul Food and Birdland were taken at
the tempos of their studio versions, with lots of bass drum.

Setlist:

That Cat Is High
Route 66
Meet Benny Bailey
Java Jive
On a Little Street in Singapore/Poinciana
A Tisket A Tasket
Air Mail Special
Tim: [not sure, but I think it's on a recent youtube video]
Cheryl: It's All Right with Me
Corner Pocket
Tutu
Sidewinder
Alan: Only You
Janis: You're Mine You
Groovin
Bahia
Soul Food to Go
Birdland
Encore: Choo Choo Ch'Boogie
Encore 2: Boy from NYC

Cheryl Bentyne: Night Turns to Day

by Christopher Loudon
Jazz Times, September 2012

If Cole Porter were around to describe Cheryl Bentyne's past year, he might
suggest "De-Lousy." It's been a bumpy ride for the Manhattan Transfer soprano,
beginning with an amicable but emotionally taxing separation from her husband,
pianist and composer Corey Allen, then escalating to a fierce battle with
Hodgkin's lymphoma. But Porter is figuring into her recovery. Recorded three
years ago for the Japanese market, Bentyne's "The Cole Porter Songbook,"
retitled "Let's Misbehave," was released domestically on the Summit label
earlier this summer, coinciding with her return to music and good health.

Last fall, during a breakneck tour of Europe, Bentyne knew something was
physically wrong. Her longtime bandmates grew equally concerned. "She was losing
weight, wasn't sleeping and was always exhausted," says the Transfer's Janis
Siegel. "She'd still sing her ass off every night, but then would retreat to her
room. We tried to get her to go to an emergency room, but she insisted she
wanted to wait until she got home."

Returning Stateside, the group was booked for one final pre-Thanksgiving gig at
an East Coast college campus. "As we were about to go on," says Bentyne, 58, "I
looked at our road manager and said, 'I really don't think I can do it.' That's
the first time I've ever said that in my life."

Back in L.A., Bentyne immediately went to the doctor. "He did about six hours'
worth of blood tests," she remembers. "I got home around dinnertime and he
called and said, 'You have to go to the emergency room right now!'" Less than 18
hours later, Bentyne underwent surgery to have her spleen removed. The following
day she received the cancer prognosis. "The doctor said, 'You won't be working
for at least five months,'" she recalls, "and I said, 'No, that's not possible,
I have a tour starting in three weeks!'"

"I don't think she had ever previously missed a Transfer concert," says Allen.
"She is the Cal Ripken Jr. of jazz, so being away from the group has been really
tough on her." A panicked search, led by Siegel, began for a replacement. "We
needed somebody with a unique combination of skills," says Siegel, "including
being able to read and sing harmony. I called some trusted friends, including
Lauren Kinhan from the New York Voices." Kinhan suggested Margaret Doran, a
member of various vocal groups including the Accidentals, who turned out to be a
perfect vocal fit. But, says the lanky Bentyne, "Margaret is barely 5 feet tall.
Tim [Hauser, the Transfer's founder] told me that he would introduce her by
saying, 'Well, no, Cheryl hasn't shrunk.'"

This past March, Bentyne got the all-clear from her doctor and texted Siegel
with the news that she was officially cancer-free. "It was so strange," says
Siegel. "I was having lunch in the Village with my boyfriend when I got her
text. We were sitting underneath a poster with the title 'Cancer Vixen.' And I
immediately sent her a photo of it."

Doran made her final Transfer appearance June 30 in San Bernardino, with Bentyne
in the audience. Bentyne then rejoined the group for, ironically, a European
tour. She has also reprised her duo performances with vocalist Mark Winkler of
their West Coast Cool show, which she hopes to soon record; is conducting
private vocal coaching sessions for the first time in her career; and is hoping
to do more solo albums, including a vocal tribute to Miles Davis.

Meanwhile, she has the Porter album to promote. Produced and arranged by Allen,
who has overseen all 11 of her solo albums, it features him on keyboards,
alongside the members of his L.A. Jazz Trio -- bassist Kevin Axt and drummer
Dave Tull -- plus trumpeter Chris Tedesco and saxophonist Doug Webb. Highlights
of the 14 tracks include a smoldering "I Love Paris" that is, says Allen,
"really interesting from an arranger's point of view. It's really moody, with
lots of colors, and Cheryl sings it so well." There's a clever blending of
"Night and Day" with "Find Me a Primitive Man" concocted by Bentyne, and a
haunting rendition of "Begin the Beguine" featuring just Bentyne and Tull, which
Allen calls "one of the best things she has ever done." There are also two guest
appearances by James Moody, in one of his final studio sessions, and, on "All of
You," a stunning vocalese treatment, written by Tull, of Miles' classic 1957
solo.

Bentyne is delighted with Summit, which she describes as a "wonderful,
fabulously supportive label." And she has a brand new lease on life. "Being at
home for seven months was the strangest thing I've ever experienced," she muses.
"Now I'm in a new phase. I'm going to be single again, I moved houses, and I've
got so many projects on the go. It's like the universe is saying, 'OK, now
you're ready for this.' So, I'm going to take what's handed to me and work
really hard. Because I'm very lucky: I get to sing for a living."
