Trio

Saxophonist and New Zealander Roger Manins is a rarity, a true find in Australasian jazz. Regarded as "an outstandingly gifted musician, with a warmly passionate sound, remarkable instrumental ability and total musical integrity", Manins is a blistering force in a new generation of wildly talented jazz supremos.

Manins comes with passionate New York inspired, consummate, virtuosic, humourous ideas that are forged from a depth of tradition and tempered by an openness to change. His voice and spirit speak with a tenderness and authority that unite the generations of jazz lovers - from listeners of Billie, Pres and Parker, to Ornette, Coltrane and Lovano.
