JOE MANIS TRIO IN EUGENE
by Andrew Creasey on November 16, 2009
A staple in the Eugene jazz scene, Joe Maniswill take his trio and fill the rafters of Sam Bond’s Garage with a soothing brand of smooth jazz.
You might think you’re in an elevator, until the Trio launches into a frenzy of notes and rhythms that assaults the senses, batters the brain, and generally results in incredulous stares and an abundance of happiness. Plus, there’s beer.
As a graduate of the University of Oregon’s music department in 2005, Joe Manis went on to receive a Master in Music in Jazz Studies-Performance with Academic Honor from the New England Conservatory in Boston in 2007.
He has toured the country as well as Europe with groups such as the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, the Ken Schaphorst Big Band featuring trombonist Andre Hayward, The Temptations, and the many incarnations of the Joe Manis Trio.
The Trio’s music spans the gamut from up-tempo blast your face jazz to the slow variety where the bass player walks a mile and the drummer treats the head of his snare drum like a canvas. Binding these styles together are three guys who are straight-up players.
Don’t miss this chance to see world-class jazz musicians for free at Sam Bond’s Garage on Nov. 18th, 2009. 21 and over.
