"The son of maverick saxophonist Joe Maneri, he is a distinctive and adventurous player on his own account with a sound that synthesizes the untutored genius of Ornette Coleman with the relentless swing of Stuff Smith." - Richard Cook and Brian Morton
Ars Nova Workshop is pleased to present the Philadelphia premiere of Mat Maneri's Pentagon featuring Joe Maneri. Mat Maneri was born in 1969, and started studying violin at age five. He studied privately with Julliard String Quartet founder Robert Koff, and with bass virtuoso Miroslav Vitous. By 1990, Mat founded the critically acclaimed Joe Maneri Quartet with Randy Peterson. Mat started releasing records as a leader in 1996, and has developed multiple unique working ensembles. Pianists Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor, Matthew Shipp, and Borah Bergman have called upon Matt to perform with them in such venues as the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Library of Congress, and concert stages across Europe. Mat also enjoys a strong relationship with bassists Ed Schuller, Mark Dresser, William Parker, Michael Formanek, Barre Phillips, and John Lockwood. Never to be boxed in, Mat has also worked with Joe Morris, John Medeski, Tim Berne, Cecil McBee, T.K. Ramakrishnan, Franz Kog elman, Roy Campbell, Spring Heel Jack, Draze Hoops, and appears on an Illy B Eats (MMW's Billy Martin) remix CD.
