Roger Manins - hip flask 2

released September 2014.

Hip Flask is an Australasian ensemble formed in the early 2000's by Kiwi saxophonist, Roger Manins. Their first album (included as an extra disc in this package) was recorded in 2001, and this new recording features the same line-up of Australian jazz heavyweights. The result is a vibrant, deeply attractive album, driven by killer grooves and an unapologetic love melody. This is music brimming with the sheer joy of groove.

‘Firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, yet with an openness to exploring fresh sounds, saxophonist Roger Manins is widely recognised as an outstandingly gifted musician. His warmly passionate sound, remarkable instrumental ability and total musical integrity, guarantee a memorable listening experience.’
