Joe Maneri - Athens 2004 (r.i.p.)

Joe Maneri, the micro-tonal composer and tenor sax player, died on August 24th this year. Here's a belated tribute, a pretty good AUD tape of his trio's set at 2004's ACME. His trio consisted of son Matt Maneri on viola (Matt has played with Matthew Shipp, Roy Campbell, Joe McPhee and others) and Randy Peterson on drums.

Here's Joe's outdated website, and here's a lenghty AAJ article.
