The Manhattan Rhythm Kings - Known for their polished performances of American popular music from the '20s, '30s and '40s, the Manhattan Rhythm Kings have gained a large and enthusiastic following across the country. While frequently compared with such musical greats as The Mills Brothers and Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys, the trio has established a unique character of its own with a combination of close harmony singing, virtuosic instrumental work and spectacular tap dancing. It was their sparkling combination of song and dance that first attracted the attention of Broadway's Tommy Tune. In 1984 Mr. Tune asked the trio to help him assemble an act based on songs written by Fred Astaire. The act has performed together in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall and Atlantic City's Trump Plaza, and a tour of the former Soviet Union, where they commanded standing ovations in Moscow, Tiblisi, and St. Petersburg.
