For over three
decades, the voice of Janis Siegel has been an integral force in The Manhattan
Transfer. The nine-time Grammy winner and seventeen-time Grammy nominee has
also sustained a formidable solo career that has garnered critical
praise. Born in Brooklyn, Siegel was an early participant in the
music business, performing in pop and folk vocal groups. After a chance
meeting with Tim Hauser, Siegel was invited to join his four-part vocal group
and The Manhattan Transfer was born. Over the years, her unmistakable
voice became one of the group’s most recognizable trademarks. She sang
lead on some of the group’s biggest hits, including “Operator,” “Twilight
Zone,” “Birdland” and “The Boy from N.Y.C.” 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.”
Siegel continued with The Transfer while launching her solo career and has performed a rich variety of music over the years including appearances with Bobby McFerrin, Fred Hersch, the Beaux Arts String Quartet, Natalie Cole, among others. She has also appeared on a number of movie soundtracks. Her discography includes “I Wish You Love” (2002), “Friday Night Special” (2003) Sketches of Broadway (2004) and “Night Songs,” her most recent CD released on the Telarc label.

recorded with Woody Herman, Louis Bellson, Arnett Cobb, Freddie Hubbard, Eddie
