Mat Maneri, son of the late saxophonist Joe Maneri and the pioneering viola
player who can make the microtonal pitches between orthodox western intervals
things of mesmerising beauty, has made a rare album under his own
leadership. Maneri’s long-running partnership with expat Transylvanian pianist
Lucian Ban forms two-thirds of this free jazz and improv dream team, the third
member being British saxophone one-off Evan Parker. Minimal soprano-sax motifs
twist and thicken against Maneri’s sinewy slithers and hard-plucked twangs and
Ban’s damped, wide-spaced chords; dissonant viola drones embrace gentle tenor
saxophone purrs that become light, squirming and balletic. This! is fast and
jazzy, recalling Parker’s robust dialogues with the late Stan Tracey, the
Ban-Maneri duet Sounding is expressively sombre and misty, Hymn (a lilting
theme for the tenor) is the closest thing to an orthodox song. The fascinating
creative tension between the trio’s differing views of composition/improv
dialectics gives this set an unusually broad appeal – to devotees of
contemporary classical music, ambient trippers, jazzers and sharp-end improv
admirers alike.
