“(Manricks) does for jazz what author Walt Whitman did for existentialism, he gives the genre meaning that people can relate to and apply to their own lives.” –Jazz Times, Susan Frances!
“(Manricks is) A composer beyond the confines of genre perception... mellifluous...meditative...beautifully contoured...An impressive collection of pieces” –DownBeat, Micheal Jackson!
“...He (Manricks) references Debussy, Schoenberg and Ravel, as well as Gil Evans, creating distinctively personal compositions whose lucid development, despite their complexity, makes them remarkably accessible... Heʼs also a very individual, cliche-free soloist...” 5 stars –The Irish Times Reviewed, Ray Comiskey!
