巴拉基列夫 Balakirev,Mily(Alekseyevich)(1837年1月2日,俄罗斯下诺夫哥罗德～1910年5月29日,圣彼得堡)俄国作曲家。青年时代与爱国主义作曲家格林卡(Mikhail Glinka)相遇并深受其影响。他本人后来则成为居伊(Cesar Cui,1835年～1918年)和穆索尔斯基(Modest Mussorgsky)的良师益友。1861年～1862年他们的组合中又增加了两位成员，鲍罗丁和里姆斯基-柯萨科夫，形成了“五人团”(The Five)。1862年巴拉基列夫还与他人一起开办自由音乐学校。他的音乐绚丽多彩且富想像力，采用了很多民间音乐的主题，或许可称之为最具影响力的俄国民族主义的推崇者。1871年罹患神经系统疾病后，他以一种痴迷的心态热衷于东正教，其后只是偶或参与音乐活动。 　　The Manhattan Transfer is a jazz vocal group founded in 1969 that has explored a capella, vocalese, swing, standards, Brazilian jazz, rhythm and blues, and pop music. 　　There have been two editions of the Manhattan Transfer, with Tim Hauser the only person to be part of both. The first group consisted of Hauser, Erin Dickins, Marty Nelson, Pat Rosalia, and Gene Pistilli. The second version of the group, formed in 1972, consisted of Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, and Laurel Massé. In 1979, Massé left the group after being badly injured in a car accident and was replaced by Cheryl Bentyne. The group's long-time pianist, Yaron Gershovsky, accompanied the group on tour and served as music director. Trist Curless from the Los Angeles a cappella group m-pact became a permanent member in October 2014 following Hauser's death. 　　In 1969, Tim Hauser formed a vocal group in New York City called the Manhattan Transfer after the novel by John Dos Passos. The group consisted of Erin Dickins, Marty Nelson, and Pat Rosalia, and Gene Pistilli. This group made one album, Jukin' (Capitol, 1971), which looked at the jazz music of the past as well as rock and country genres unlike the later incarnations of the group. They were not picked up by Capitol Records for a second album, and the group broke up in 1973. 　　Shortly thereafter, Hauser met Laurel Massé while he was a cab driver and she was his passenger. Soon after, he met Janis Siegel. During this time, session drummer Roy Markowitz, who later went on to play with Janis Joplin, and record with Don McLean, attended a performance of the group and convinced Tim to change the group's direction. Roy was in the Broadway band of Grease and introduced one of its cast members, Alan Paul (who played the dual role of bandleader Johnny Casino and the Teen Angel), to Tim. Thus began another version of the Manhattan Transfer. After performing in clubs in New York City, the quartet asked Roy to produce a demo to present to Ahmet Ertegun at Atlantic records.The demo was a success and Atlantic released its debut album with guest appearances by bona fide jazz musicians Randy Brecker, Jon Faddis, and Zoot Sims. The Manhattan Transfer (Atlantic, 1975) lacked the condescension of the previous album, presenting instead serious vocalese renditions of "Java Jive" and "Tuxedo Junction" and scoring a Top 20 hit with "Operator". During the month of August 1975, the group hosted a four-week variety series on CBS-TV. The hour-long show was simply called The Manhattan Transfer, aired on Sunday evenings, and for the most part concentrated on showcasing the talents of the group. Their next album, Coming Out, produced "Chanson d'Amour," which was a number one hit in England.
