Joe Maneri:
“…one of the most advanced improvisers in jazz
today…one of the great innovators in jazz history”
— Harvey Pekar, The Journal News, 10/03
“Observed as a teacher, I found Joe Maneri to be
delicate and yet probing. As a creator, he organized a
language which is his own, indicating courage and the
light of truth.”
— Cecil Taylor
James Carson:
“I hope only you can infer something of my astonished
joy in response to your performances…”
— Milton Babbitt 05/04
“…surprisingly mature things to say…he’s gone a
long way in a short time towards developing his own
voice.”
— Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal, 12/03
The Trio:
“…not the pummeling free jazz of yore…this was
music full of delicate gestures outlined by the aura
of silence.”
— Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix 01/04
