For Consequence marks the completion of a trilogy on LeoRecords for the
Maneri-Peterson-Schuller trio (
Leo Lab 022 - Fever Bed
and
CD LR 278 - Fifty-one Sorrow).
Few jazz musicians have so wholly learned the dark
sublime as has Mat Maneri. Playing viola, Maneri affirms what matters most
in jazz, and what seems to be accomplished least: "The creation of an
original sound and language within a group context, a forum where individual
voices fuse and flow as one organism, reflecting not only on the unique
history of a combo, but the cellular evolution of a music" (Steve Dollar).
