Manzini is not afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve--the solo bass overdubbing and slapping of Victor Wooten, the genre-hopping creativity of Gito Baloi, and much more can all be heard here. However, Manzini very much has his own voice. ...

While that's a mouthful, the album succeeds in this respect. A disheartening trend in some South African jazz is a common desire ...
