“Not only is Sarah Manning a fearless and intense player, she’s a fearless and intense composer...Restless, irrepressible, unafraid and unfailingly terse, much of what she does here is transcendent.”
Third place in the 2010 JazzTimes Reader's Poll in the Category of Best New Artist!
“Sarah Manning can swing as naturally as she breathes – an enlivening presence in the new generation of jazz makers”
“If there is to be jazz in our future, it’ll be because of musicians like saxophonist and composer Sarah Manning. Her music is unique, ultra-modern yet steeped in tradition, and it cooks. [She] plays the horn with conviction, fire, determination, and the kind of ‘knowing certainty’ that usually only comes to players in their middle and later years. She’s a player to listen to, starting right now.”
