Janis Siegel and Yaron Gershovsky of The Manhattan Transfer celebrate the release of their brand-new recording of legendary songwriter Cy Coleman's The Colors Of My Life.
Over the past five decades, the voice of Janis Siegel, ten-time Grammy winner and eighteen-time Grammy nominee, has become one of The Manhattan Transfer's most recognizable trademarks. Alongside her career as a founding member of this musical institution, Siegel has also sustained a solo career that has spawned almost a dozen finely crafted solo albums and numerous collaborative projects. She has been vocal arranger for the group's acclaimed masterwork, Vocalese, the group's Grammy-winning album Brasil, and also won a Grammy herself in 1980 for her vocal arrangement of "Birdland." These days, you can find Janis in the studio, producing various ventures for other artists, singing on a diverse array of projects, touring with her trio, teaching at NYU and other universities, and joining forces with alto Lauren Kinhan from New York Voices in Vocal Gumbo, a monthly virtual music program born during the pandemic.
Yaron Gershovsky is a highly accomplished, internationally recognized pianist, keyboardist, arranger, composer and producer. Since 1979, he has been the Musical Director and Pianist/Keyboardist for The Manhattan Transfer, touring, recording and writing instrumental and vocal arrangements for them, including two for Grammy award winning songs. Yaron has also recorded and performed with other greats, including Lonnie Smith, Steve Gadd, Abraham Laboriel, Lew Soloff, Janis Siegel, Ray Brown, Grady Tate, Don Sebesky, The Count Basie Orchestra, Richie Havens, Take 6, and Toots Thielemans. His Broadway credits include vocal arranging for the Tony Award winning musical City of Angels, and vocal arranging for the musical hit Swing. He was also the Musical Director for numerous other shows, as well as keyboardist for the musicals The Phantom of The Opera and Les Miserables. His latest solo work, Transitions, was released in January 2022 to much public acclaim. Later in 2022, Yaron arranged two songs for the Grammy nominated Manhattan Transfer’s latest release, Fifty. Yaron’s newest release, is a co-production with Janis Siegel, The Colors Of My Life – A Cy Coleman Songbook.
