Henry Manetta and the Trip perform a selection of songs from their third studio album, Sexjazz: a melismatic concoction of deep jazz thought, spatial blues and in-the-pocket soul fire. Featuring the maverick soul overdrive of Henry Manetta on vocals, the funkster espionage of Adam Rudegeair on piano, Adam Spiegl's trawling river bass, Ron Romero_x0019_ s horn of tomorrow, and Sam Hall_x0019_ s force-of-nature drums. "Highly innovative, even confronting...captivating listening" - Leon Gettler, The Age. "A tad of Dr. John piano, a chorus of crackling sax, and lyrics with the immediacy of Dylan Thomas after a bender at a Dublin tavern. Henry's voice goes from basso to falsetto in the blink of a semi-quaver." - Ron Spain, Jazz Scene Magazine. "With influences including Billie Holiday, Sun Ra and Tim Buckley, Henry Manetta is Australian jazz's most unique vocalist bar none. A brave improviser, Henry plays his voice like a horn, bending and stretching tunes in ways that have to be heard to be believed."- Matthew Frederick, The Age.
