Roger Manins Trio
Reviewed by Graham Reid - www.elsewhere.co.nz

" Opening an album with a 20 minute piece of ever-changing moods, deft rhythms and sometimes surreptitious saxophone is a clear statement of intent and, as the main story here notes, also stretches the parameters for the new Rattle Jazz imprint.

It says these people -- the label and the musicians -- are serious.

That opener jogs on the spot in places but never for long before one or other of the players picks it up and aims it somewhere else.

It takes you on an easy but interesting journey. Manins’ tone sounds languidly Ornette-like in places (Missing Wes) and understatement is driving ethic, although when they take on an angular swing (Blues Form) this becomes more assertive. "
