Jacám Manricks creates sophisticated pieces, some with multiple sections providing
different contexts for improvisation, often obliging players to contribute in specific
ways to a composition’s shape, rather than just blowing over chord changes.

it was layering tension on lyricism or melodic angularity on a straight groove….
If sometimes his sound veered from austere to thin and even shrill, he was still
capable of exceptional playing, as on New Bolero, where he daubed coarse-grained,
anguished streaks against (Barney) McAll’s pretty arpeggios …”
