Jacam Manricks: Trigonometry
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The reason that there is seldom a wrong note played by Jacám Manricks on Trigonometry is that notes, phrases and the spiraling flow of seemingly unending lines appear to be so extremely well thought-out that nothing could possibly sound out of place. To hear the saxophonist play in soft, dulcet tones that occupy the paler colors ...
Jacam Manricks: Trigonometry
by Bruce Lindsay
Jacám Manricks is a rich-toned saxophonist and composer with a growing body of original tunes--Trigonometry appears hot on the heels of the self-released Labyrinth (Manricks Music Records, 2009).

Jacám Manricks: Trigonometry
by Mark Corroto
There is a snap to the music of saxophonist Jacám Manricks' music that calls to mind the invention of bebop with it's fidgety energy. Without looking backwards, this recording re-invents that atmosphere of bop animation.

Jacám Manricks: Labyrinth
by AAJ Italy Staff
Jacám Manricks costruisce il suo labirinto sonoro con la voglia di condurci attraverso un viaggio originale, certamente sofisticato e stimolante. Labyrinth scorre attraverso otto composizioni, che l'artista australiano crea servendosi di un ricco ventaglio di soluzioni personali (sax, clarinetto e flauto) e di quattro interpreti scelti in maniera accurata. In tal senso risultano particolarmente indovinate le ...
Large Ensembles: Is There a Place in This Large Music World?
