This SATB arrangement of 'Route 66' by Dick Averre is a fantastic choice for high school or community choirs. The F Major key is accessible, and the swing rhythms offer great opportunities for teaching stylistic precision and ensemble blend. The clear vocal parts make it straightforward for students to learn their lines and focus on harmonies. Highly recommend for a fun, engaging piece!

I absolutely love this arrangement of 'Route 66' by Manhattan Transfer! Our community choir is learning it, and it's just so much fun. The harmonies are really satisfying to sing, and it captures that great swing vibe. The F Major key is comfortable for all voice parts. It feels achievable for someone like me who sings for enjoyment and wants to sound good!

I was disappointed to find that this arrangement is not and does not follow the arrangement that Manhattan Transfer (MT) performs. I ended up having to transcribe the vocal harmonies from their recordings. The Dick Averre sheet music should not say by Manhattan Transfer as I've never heard this arrangement performed by them.I noticed that the two preview pages of the Kirby Shaw arrangement (Vocal Jazz Series is what I'm hearing on the MT recordings and is indeed the authentic version. The Kirby Shaw sheet music should say As performed by Manhattan Transfer. I wished I had previewed both versions and made an informed decision rather than assume the Dick Averre version was the authentic MT one because it says Recorded by the Manhattan Transfer.

This is just what I wanted for our quartet, which is just beginning to work on the close harmonies of Manhattan Transfer.

I like this arrangement and find the accompaniment interesting. A very good golden oldie!

This is the classic Man. Transfer version with some added lyrics at the end. So you can use their cd to practice the rhythms. And this song is always a crowd-pleaser whenever sung well.Highly recommended to anyone starting a jazz vocal small group! Easy to learn for experienced singers.I have many years of experience singing all types of modern music - pop, big band, barbershop, and jazz.
