The level of three-way agreement has produced an album that, as well as any in Joe Maneri's growing discography, conveys the affirmative spirit of his live performances. ... That a dialect so personal could have such a broad and deep appeal is a tribute to all three of the musicians who speak it so eloquently in these performances. — Bob Blumenthal
Joe Maneri
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: 1927 in Brooklyn, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde, Free Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Improvisation, Microtonal
Microtonal innovator Joe Maneri was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1927, learning to play clarinet from a neighborhood shoemaker and making his professional debut on the Catskills society-band circuit at age 17. Three years later, he was introduced to the work of Arnold Schoenberg, the famed inventor of the 12-tone system, and immediately thereafter formed his own 12-tone jazz ensemble, additionally performing in a number of ethnic music combos. A decade of study under composer Joseph Schmidt (himself a former Schoenberg student) followed, before Maneri came to the attention of conductor Eric Leinsdorf, who commissioned him to compose a piano concerto. He made his first recordings for Atlantic in 1962; after the session went unreleased, Maneri was largely silent for the remainder of the decade, finally resurfacing in 1970 teaching theory and composition at the New England Conservatory of Music. Exploring microtones in his subsequent compositions and improvisations alike, Maneri's first officially released recording, 1991's Kavalinka, found him joined by his violinist son Mat and percussionist Masashi Harada. Two more efforts -- the Leo Lab session Get Ready to Receive Yourself, and Three Men Walking, an ECM date featuring guitarist Joe Morris -- followed in 1995. Bassist Barre Phillips joined the Maneris for Tales of Rohnlief.

Joe Morris
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Sep 13, 1955 in New Haven, CT
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde, Post-Bop, Free Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz
Joe Morris is an uncompromisingly original guitarist following in the tradition of other free-jazz guitar, conceptual innovators like Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, Eugene Chadbourne, and James Ulmer. However, Mr. Morris has developed his own, unique approach to guitar playing, composition, and improvisation which is unlike his peers. He usually incorporates a clean tone of the be-bop lineage for his single-note driven improvisations. His recordings are widely eclectic ranging from solo performances, traditional acoustic settings, and fusion dates to various groups with interesting instrumentation Mr. Morris spent his formative years in New Haven, Connecticut where he taught himself the guitar and immersed himself in a variety of progressive musical styles. He spent numerous weekends attending free symphonic productions at nearby Yale University which included performances of artists as diverse as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Charles Ives, and Duke Ellington. Attention to local AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) members Leo Smith and George Lewis and a world-music radio show presented by percussionist Gerry Hemmingway also helped Mr. Morris develop his wide musical pallette. In 1975, Mr. Morris moved to Boston where his unique approach was not initially accepted in the then-prevalent, modal-jazz scene. Despite this temporary setback, and some time spent playing guitar in Europe, he developed a pivotal, collaborative relationship with multi-instrumentalist Lowell Davidson whose unique sound explorations inspired Mr. Morris to further develop his own original approach to music making. In 1981 Mr. Morris began his own label, Riti Records (named after an African, single-stringed folk-instrument), to document his prolific musical output. During the 90's he became, arguably, the most widely heralded free-jazz guitarist in jazz while recording with many avant garde luminaries. Mr. Morris became the first guitarist to lead a recording session for the prestigious Black Saint/ Soul Note records with 1994's Symbolic Gesture, and he has continued to record extensively for many outstanding labels such as ECM, Hat Hut, Leo, Incus, Okka Disk, Homestead, About Time, Knitting Factory Works, No More Records, AUM Fidelity, and Omnitone. Also, Mr. Morris has given lectures and workshops for Harvard University, New England Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, and other European universities. Joe Morris recordings can currently be obtained through Cadence/ North Country Distribution or his website at www.joe-morris.com.
