About the Event
Roberto Manzin, the fiery Italian saxophonist, is one of the best-kept secrets on the contemporary scene; your reaction, if you have not heard him before, is likely to be 'Who IS this guy?', as he unleashes one blindingly fluent, enthralling solo after another. If you have heard him before, that will be recommendation enough...
"He (Manzin) has to be heard to be believed!" -Jon Newey, Jazzwise
"Scorching Italian tenorist Roberto Manzin" -Time Out
Roberto began his musical career in Italy, migrating to London in the late '90's; he has recently had a spell in Berlin but has returned to Britain and, remarkably, currently resides in Southend. He'll be accompanied today by Jonathan Gee on piano, Sam Hollis on bass,a nd Trevor Taylor on drums.
