Mantis

MANTIS: the music of Drew Menzies
2014 JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR finalist

Available to DOWNLOAD or as a PRINT-ON-DEMAND CD

While these recordings are by no means definitive, they are an example of the openness of Drew’s writing, and a fine expression of the respect and enthusiasm with which his music is regarded by the assembled musicians and arrangers. Reuben’s vision for this project was so infectious that each collaborator was willing to freely support the project, and the results speak for themselves – warm, lucid, generous performances, captured and presented with great affection and skill.
