NYC jazz outfit Onyx Collective unveiled a dreamy take on Rodgers and Hart's 'Manhattan,' from their upcoming LP, 'Manhattan Special'
will feature guest vocalists, such as Nick Hakim singing “My Funny Valentine,” Ian Isiah singing “Blue Moon” and Kelsey Lu singing “Spring Is Here” and “Where or When.”
Barr says the tracklist was compiled by pouring over the Rodgers and Hart/Rodgers and Hammerstein discography and choosing songs that not only stood out as favorites but ones that complemented each other and would allow for different musical styles. Onyx Collective listened to and studied past arrangements for inspiration — Barr specifically cited 1967’s“The goal was to create an ambiance with the arrangements that highlighted the mood of the melody or the emotion of the lyrics,” Barr says. “Some of the arrangements came alive from our imaginations and thinking in a cinematic lens.”coincides with the 100th anniversary of Rodgers and Hart’s songwriting partnership, which dates back to the 1920 premiere of their first musical,.
, Barr says, “We definitely feel this album is an homage to great songwriting, but it’s also an homage to classic New York, different from our versions of this narrative from the past. I think all the songs have a certain time-capsule element; each song brings me to a specific atmosphere, an escape into a dreamy sub-world of life in New York, that we cherish and love. It’s all pretty emotional and heartfelt, which is something I think is helpful in these trying times.”5. “My Favorite Things”10.
