	FAC PRESS RELEASE
		The father-and-son team of Joe and Mat Maneri play improvised chamber music, bringing together the yearning passions of jazz and blues with lessons learned from Schoenberg, microtonalism, and a dozen world music traditions, to produce experimental jazz at its most warm-hearted and inviting.
		Maneri has been on the faculty of the New England Conservatory since 1970, teaching harmony, counterpoint, composition, saxophone, improvisation and microtonal theory and composition.
		Mat Maneri was largely responsible for the late musical "coming out" of his father, who began playing again in public in 1990 with Mat's group Persona.

	Joe Maneri Biography - AOL Music
		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.
		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.

		When the Boston Creative Music Alliance hypes Maneri’s upcoming concert at the ICA (March 10) with the tag “a leading improvisational voice of his generation,” they could be understating the case.
		Maneri is the son of Joe Maneri — the legendary New England Conservatory professor, reed player, composer, and microtonal theorist who was drawn back into public performance by Maneri the Younger — and the two appear on several of those ECM albums, including the new duet disc Blessed.
		Maneri takes the tune back to its Indian sources, with an out-of-tempo introductory opening in the typical Indian alaap manner, tambura-like drones, some gentle, meditative Indian scales, and agitated longer tones and rests rather than Coltrane’s unrelenting assault.

		Joe Maneri is an enigmatic figure among icons of free improvisation.
		Late in the twentieth century, he was rediscovered, in part, through the efforts of his son, violinist Mat Maneri, and Joe Maneri has since recorded albums under his own name that have contributed significantly to his discography.

	Blessed - Joe Maneri - Song Listings
		They are Mat Maneri's "Blessed," which holds the microtonal balance of the strings against an investigative run by Joe on tenor.
		Maneri the younger changes the dynamic, first of the drone, and then the tonal body of the tune, shifting it into a series of steps and measures where pitch becomes the consideration of the piano.
		This is the most intimate piece on the record, where father and son dance with and through one another, they touch upon tonalities, delve into them together and apart, and agree on framework in which to play them based on what comes next.

	Blessed + The Trio Concerts : Joe Maneri : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Joe is also featured solo on "Gardenias For Gardenis", a dedicatory clarinet piece to an early mentor that crams a spectrum of Klezmer and Rembetica colors into a mere minute and a half.
		Anyone who has seen Joe Maneri in person can testify to the levels of effusive joy he brings to a performance and the evidence is all over this set in the sonic stamp of his frequent verbal ejaculations and shouts.
		Joe's sublime clarinet moves from hushed to piercing on the ascendant "Climbing Light", matching Mat's keening violin in a precisely pitched test of confluent sonorities.

	(musings) The Joe Maneri Trio
		It's true that Maneri senior has spent most of his life as an unrecognised maverick, and that only in his autumn years has he garnered the critical acclaim he deserves.
		Joe takes up the clarinet for the second half of disc 1, and even treats us to a little piano (an instrument on which he's surprisingly revealing, although it has less immediate impact than his saxophone) on disc 2, but otherwise discourses at length on alto or tenor, always in close duet with his son.
		Mat Maneri has been working with his father since he was a teenager (and, informally, doubtless much longer), and their close understanding is always strongly evident.

	Joe Maneri : Kalavinka - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Given that Joe and Mat Maneri have been regular fixtures on the scene since the late '90s, and that Joe had been in retirement from recording or performing for over 30 years, this is one of, if not the, earliest dates of his return to public performance.
		Maneri's deep study of individual and collective improvisation that he taught at the New England Conservatory of Music is present here, and pointed in the direction of microtonal exploration.
		Here, with the use of the many sonorities of the violin, Joe Maneri utilizes his reeds to do away with all notions of what atonal improvisation is, because -- in his microtonal universe -- everything is tonal.

	The History of Jazz Music. Joe Maneri: biography, discography, review, links (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		White composer Joe Maneri (1927), a member of the classical avantgarde who had composed microtonal music in his youth, released his first jazz album at the age of 68.
		Kalavinka (january 1989), for tenor and clarinet (Maneri himself), violin (his son Mat) and percussion introduced the notion of "free" improvisation that was relaxed (instead of incendiary or overly intellectual) and tonal (instead of wildly dissonant).
		Tales of Rohnlief (1998) and Angels Of Repose (may 2002) were trios with the Maneris and bassist Barre Phillips.

	Joe Maneri Quartet \| Tenderly
		Moreover, Joe's quartet on this disc is admirably attuned to his sound, and complements him perfectly - particularly his son Mat.
		This is courtesy both the microtonal Maneris as well as the rhythm section, which doesn't so much keep time as create it, expanding and contracting it as necessity requires.
		But the newcomer to Joe Maneri's sound may find the unexpected covers most immediately interesting: “What' New” and “Tenderly.” Most affecting is Joe's habit of sliding, as noted above, from note to note, giving both of these old warhorses a new and striking makeover.

	Joe Maneri: Serial Autobiography
		Maneri is best known for his critically acclaimed recordings for ECM, Leo, and hatHUT, he is also a faculty member at the New England Conservatory of Music where he teaches music theory, composition, improvisation, and jazz studies, conducting numerous lectures and workshops.
		Maneri is co-author of Preliminary Studies in the Virtual Pitch Continuum, is co-inventor of a microtonal keyboard that has 588 notes with 72 notes per octave, and is founder and president of the Boston Microtonal Society.
		Maneri become recognized in the '50's or '60's (when he first began recording), he could very well have achieved the stature of Ornette Coleman or Albert Ayler (but who's to say that he still can't?).

	Cleveland - Music - The Neighborhood Guy
		Born to Sicilian immigrants in 1927, Maneri was raised in Brooklyn, New York.
		Around 1955 Maneri made a soundtrack for the film of his friend, painter George Dworzan; it was composed of a series of shots of paintings arranged in such a way as to tell a sea narrative.
		Maneri recorded three freely improvised lines: one on clarinet that he sped up, one on tenor sax that he slowed down, and one on prepared piano.

		Joe Maneri, the eccentric, free-improvising saxophonist and pianist continues his long partnership with his son, Mat, a violinist.
		Phillips' technique and ear allow him to adapt readily to the Maneris' fondness for lurking in the dangerous territories between the notes in the traditional western scale.
		Mat Maneri often plays an electric violin, and is frequently tumultuously energetic with it, but he restricts himself to viola on this session, and the set is entirely acoustic.

		It is difficult to trace Maneri's activities for the remainder of that decade.
		Since then Maneri has been active at last as a player, usually in trio with son Mat and, recently, guitarist Joe Morris.

	Mystery Man
		A new phase began in the early ’90s, thanks in large part to Maneri’s son Mat — a violinist/violist whose quick ascendance among new-music improvisers reflects both his rare ability and his place in a more receptive era.
		Maneri brought his father onstage and into the studio, and a long-dormant performing career began almost anew.
		Maneri’s Atlantic demo has been reissued on John Zorn’s Avant label to much acclaim but little hoopla.

	Joe Morris/Mat Maneri - Soul Search (Aum Fidelity)
		Joe Morris is chasing William Parker for the right to be the whore of the New York jazz scene.
		Mat Maneri, son of microtonal composer Joe Maneri, is an electric violinist who played on a track of Morris's recent Cloud of Black Birds album (also on Aum Fidelity).
		I'm not familiar with other recordings of Maneri's, but for Morris this is a nice diversion from some of his other works and proof of his imagination and virtuosity.

	* Dusted Reviews - Maneri Ensemble *
		And sure enough, Mat Maneri does contribute his trademark twisting, sighing viola lines to this record, but the Maneri who features most prominently here is Mat’s father Joe.
		Joe Maneri still isn’t especially well known in the U.S., even in free jazz circles, which may be partially due to the fact that he’s an older man who’s only been releasing recordings for about a dozen years.
		But Joe’s playing is foot-draggingly slow, and it often sounds unsure—his phrases often expand and contract quickly, and he spends much of his time (intentionally) wobbling between the twelve equal-tempered tones to the octave used in most Western music.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Going to Church, Joe Maneri, CD
		Joe Maneri's conceptual microtonalism is at the root of all of these pieces, where notions of front lines and rhythm sections blur into one another as time itself is stretched beyond recognition.
		The addition of a second horn player and Shipp on piano is welcome in that with the increased chromatic range, the timbral extensions that are integral to the Maneris' music become almost infinite.
		But it works, as Joe uses his clarinets or saxophones in a manner that can only be described as chanting through the middle of these three pieces.

		He was playing in a trio with guitarist Joe Morris and, more notably, his father Joe Maneri, the great saxophonist and devout free improviser.
		Maneri separates the group tracks with five solo pieces (one per musician) that emphasize the raw sounds of each instrument.
		These blend into the program surprisingly well: the Maneri solo that opens the disc is engrossingly slow; Cleaver's, the most hypnotic, sounds like he's dragging a chain around his cymbal.

		As far as Mat Maneri and I are concerned, there is only one way to approach creating music and that is by attempting to make an original statement, even if that means alienating or offending someone.
		We know that music that music that eventually passes the test of time comes from artists who have delved deeply into the elemental substructure of the language of music and found a way to open minds to new ideas.
