"It
was the first time I’d heard Manzin live, and his modesty belies the
searing lines he plays, easily a match for Brecker or Bergonzi." -Sarah Chaplin, Jazzwise
"...He (Manzin) has to be heard to be believed!" -Jon Newey, Jazzwise
"Roberto Manzin’s licks are up to the minute" -Evening Standard
"Sax-player Roberto Manzin's solos have something of the chromatic excitement of Brecker and the soulfulness of Sanborn." -Alison Bentley, LondonJazz
"Scorching Italian tenorist Roberto Manzin" -Time Out
"An
expressive player with an attractive sound, his improvisations reveal a
skilful strategist, a melodist first and foremost, who gradually
unfolds a solo and builds up to a compelling conclusion." -Charles Alexander, Jazzwise
"With
his background of playing in a multitude of musical styles, and his
outstanding technique and superb voice, Manzin not only fits the
[Nicolas] Meier Group to perfection, but moreover got into the music as
if he'd played it all his life. I cannot think of any other clarinet/sax
player who could fulfil this role within the Meier Group with more
authenticity, authority and sheer excellence than Manzin"
"Woodwind virtuoso Roberto Manzin, one of the finest and most versatile saxophonists on the British scene" -Rainlore's World of Music
"Reed-player
Manzin has a prodigious technique that he utilises effectively on
tenor, soprano and clarinet. On the non-original - Mingus' Duke Ellington Sound [of Love]- the
tenor is full and round with an almost Websterian sensuousness and
guitar and tenor combine well in the ensembles. And how about that
clarinet on Missing Home? About time we had some new liquorice and this is very tasty liquorice indeed!" -Bebop spoken here.
