This is one of those threads that sends me wandering for hours into the wilds of the internet. I’m coming back to report that The Manhattan Transfer has **its entire catalog** , full-length [on its website](http://www.manhattantransfer.net/) (with links to buy from iTunes, if you’re so inclined). I’ve got _Offbeat of Avenues_ playing in the background right now.

Kurt Elling made me think of another young jazz vocalist I admire - [Denzal Sinclair](http://www.denzalsinclaire.com/)  
[Always on my Mind](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6lmcGupIJ8)

Oh, and I heard a really cool version of ‘So What?’ performed by the Swingle Singers earlier this afternoon - I know, they’ve been around for ages, but this was really outstanding, IMHO.

Good stuff. And the radio links are a great resource. Thanks, all.
