Dave Manington Trio (1st Show)

Line-up:

Dave Manington – Double Bass
Brigitte Beraha – Vocals
Ivo Neame – Piano

About

Formed from the core of Manington’s larger ensemble – Riff Raff, this new trio plays stripped down and intimate versions of a set of new originals destined for recording next year. Having played together for many years the interplay and communication between these musicians is almost telepathic. The music is sophisticated and full of virtuoso playing, sometimes freely improvised with an exciting element of risk, but the song forms, melodic nature and great ensemble playing of the group make it highly accessible. Manington’s compositions invoke


“…diffident Wayne Shorteresque lyricism, and vocals that showcase Beraha’s eloquent lyrics and inventiveness as a wordless improviser.” The Guardian
