Janis Siegel Quartet

"The music simmers gently and she takes us for an exotic tour of far-off lands where the landscape is filled with nothing but spiritual pleasures, both wholesome and real." - All About Jazz

Over the past three decades, the voice of Janis Siegel—a nine-time Grammy winner and a 17-time Grammy nominee—has been an undeniable force in The Manhattan Transfer's diverse musical catalog. Alongside her career as a member of this 32-year musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned a half dozen solo albums and numerous collaborative projects. She also gained a reputation as a vocal arranger by writing five of the charts for the group's acclaimed masterwork, Vocalese, seven charts for the group's Grammy-winning album Brasil, and won a Grammy herself in 1980 for her arrangement of Birdland.

More about Janis Siegel

Over the years, Janis’ unmistakable voice has become one of Manhattan Transfer's most recognizable trademarks. She sang lead on some of the Transfer’s biggest hits, such as “Operator,” “Chanson D’Amour,” “Twilight Zone,” “Birdland,” “Ray’s Rockhouse,” “Sassy,” “Spice of Life,” “Mystery,” and “The Boy from N.Y.C.”

Siegel’s most recent collaborations and projects outside The Manhattan Transfer are many and varied. They include touring as a member of the acclaimed improvisational vocal group, Bobby McFerrin’s Voicestra, an appearance as a ‘30s-style Boswellian (as in The Boswell Sisters) cowgirl on the debut album by Frank Vignola and Joe Ascione, titled 33 1/3, and being a participant alongside Luciana Souza, Mulgrew Miller and James Williams in a tribute to jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center.
