About
Award winning vibraphonist and composer Jonny Mansfield brings his quartet for a special show at the Vortex featuring the incredible Emmanuel Michael.
Born and raised in South Dakota as a first-generation Ugandan and Southern Sudanese, Emmanuel is a New York City based artist who believes that without self-reflection and empathy towards himself and others, the foundation of what makes a truthful artist/human would crumble.
Their special contributions has lead them to performing in the bands of Ambrose Akinmusire, Marcus Gilmore and Dayna Stephens to name a few.
The quartet—featuring recently released Quartet! Live at Pizza Express on Mansfield’s label, Resonant Postcards to critical acclaim –
UK Vibe *****
“It’s great to hear a quartet that are so obviously on the same wavelength and this is true of the whole session. This quartet exudes class, style and substance. Musical brilliance personified.”
“the chief joy of this terrific release, which features Mansfield’s compositions throughout, lies in its faultlessly cast and fluid, diversely swinging four-way energy and drive, allied to dynamic finesse and rhythmic flexibility of the highest order.”
