reviews:
"Manson''s adroit and inspiring performance is combined with fascinating and stimulating compositions. The result is a refreshingly "out of the ordinary" audio project." - Kevin Chiarizzio, International Trombone Association Journal, 7/07
"As for the trombone, David Manson''s work is clear proof that there''s life in that beast yet. Check it out. - Dan Warburton, Paris Transatlantic Magazine
"Wow!!! ... I am way into your project. I listened to it all the way back in the car and again when I got back to my house. Bravo on a very cool and creative project." - Mark Hetzler, former Empire Brass trombonist
"Manson is a multi-dimensional musician. He expands the musical framework for the trombone and produces challenging sounds in the process. His thought processes run deep, resulting in music with stimulating and logically flowing characteristics built into brawny trombone execution." - Frank Rubolino, Cadence
"Working in more experimental vein, and pushing the boundaries of trombone virtuosity into unexpected directions, Manson has filled this release with a variety of settings for his instrument... Suffice to say the trombone is alive and well, and conspiring with other renegade spirits to form a bestiary of intriguing and kaleidoscopic sound collages." - Marino Guida, Tangents
"Manson, an academic who has recorded impressively with tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers, proves here that he can have fun while exhibiting his virtuosity." - Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly
