MANHATTAN COOL
from Bevin Turnbull/Turn-Tay-Bull Podcasting · host Bevin Turnbull
The song, MANHATTAN COOL is the featured subject. It was first recorded over 30 years ago at Systems Two Studios--Brooklyn, NY ; then again about 8 years ago at my studio--Tarah/Sarah Productions--Bronx, NY. In all these years, the song was never played before a live audience. I was always imagining that I could improve it. Now in 2022 we are seriously considering including its live debut in our next live production--Part Three of NEW JAZZ CITY:the musical. One of the main characters, Anthony is a cold individual who the song is about. He tries underhandedly to capture the attention of Sherri, the lead female, who happens to be the love interest of Jazzman (Johnu). Version 1 (circa 1982): Michael McCray- lead vocal, Bevin Turnbull-synthesizers, piano, B3 organ, Stew Cutler- guitar, Debbie Gilcrest, Wanda, Hamlet- background vocals, Erroll Bedward-drum programming Version 2 (circa 2014) Bevin Turnbull-keyboards, background vocals
