This begins with the sort of rush you get when you lift the lid off a simmering pot and are scalded by steam. It was a sizzling opening to the concert, at which these two discs were recorded.

Roger Manins   Latitude
ABC Limelight Magazine November 2010
Reviewer rating: ****

'This live double album, recorded in Auckland with locals Olivier Holland (bass) ,. Ron Samsom ( drums) and Sydney's Carl Dewhurst (guitar), swings vigorously on all six lengthy tracks. Manin's tenor is white hot and and screaming, especially on Monk's Well You Needn't , and his own Blues For Marty White. Bernie McGann, invigorated by the energy of Manins, is content to delve deeper into more recent and now well-documented repertoire: D Day ( based on Doris Day's Secret Love) and Dexter Gordon's Fried Bananas.'
