WW PickPDX Jazzfest Aftershow: Joe Manis Trio, Why I Must Be Careful, Lindsey Stormo & Ben Darwish
[TWENTYSOMETHING JAZZ] Nice to see Rontoms getting in on the Portland Jazz Festival. Tonight’s headliner is fine young talent Joe Manis and his trio from Eugene, Oregon. On his 2009 debut, Evidence, Manis unleashes a barrage of notes on the listener, ever fighting the constraints of his standards and original tunes. In doing so, he makes Pink Floyd’s “Money” sound like something a young John Coltrane might have played. While Manis occasionally overplays, his vigor is nice to hear in a sea of young horn players who too often stick to sheet music. The Manis Trio plays with Ben Darwish and Portland-via-New York City vocalist Lindsey Stormo (a singer with influences in the indie-pop and jazz worlds alike); and local experimental duo Why I Must Be Careful (for fans of Au and Quasi’s freaky shit). CASEY JARMAN. 9 pm. Rontoms, 600 E Burnside St., 236-4536. Free. 21+. Map
