Thanks for posting this thread.
As always on such occasions, although I feel that "condolences" is something of a misnomer -- it's not as if the deceased's family is ever going to read this thread -- I certainly wish to express how saddened I was to find this information when I opened my Saturday morning paper. I've been a fan of Mr. Hauser and the group he formed since before they even cut an album, thanks to a half hour episode of the old CBS Camera Three program which introduced them to the wider world outside the clubs where they'd been building a reputation. And some years later I had the great pleasure of seeing/hearing them in person at a taping of one of the shows they did for their summer replacement TV series, (CBS again).
Although I've enjoyed solo albums by Laurel Masse, Cheryl Bentyne and Janis Siegel, ironically I never knew until I read his obituary that Mr. Hauser had released a solo CD of his own, called "Love Songs," and when it arrives in my mail I'll hope that it consoles me to a degree. There's a particular poignance whenever a jazz artist passes away, because for them it wash't just the music they created but the way they performed it. How wonderful it's been to have so many Manhattan Transfer discs over the years, and how sad to know that there won't be any more.
Peace.

Neither of which, of course, has any relation to the TV shows except the coincidence of their respective titles. Which means, in this case, "closest" but no cigar.
