Roger Manins forges a deep respect for tradition with passionate, New York-inspired, consummate ideas tempered by an openness to change. His voice carries a tenderness and authority that can unite generations of jazz lovers – from listeners of Billie, Pres and Parker to Ornette, Coltrane and Lovano. Roger brings a unique Trans-Tasman perspective to New Zealand jazz and currently performs throughout Australasia and the Pacific regions. He is recorded on roughly 30 jazz albums with many of Australasia’s leading artists.
