Press Reviews Columnist Lori Brookhart of the nationally distributed music biz magazine "Music Connection" reviewed a show that Dave and his band recently played at Luna Park in West Hollywood, CA. Brookhart wrote:MATERIAL: The Dave Manley Band's kinetic blend of jazz, funk, blues and soul keeps the ear guessing and the body in motion. Bringing in the funk as fast as they dip into deep jazz, The Dave Manley Band is sophisticated but not stuffy. Complete with an improv; jam band distinction this funky jazz quartet has much to offer-not to mention a stylized cover of Sound Gardens "Black Hole Sun".MUSICIANSHIP: Saxophonist strong skills compete nicely with Chuck Treece's drums, that were heavier than usual for jazz, giving it an edge that fit.The large sound of this four piece did not over power one another; allowing compliments from each element that flowed from jam to jam. Guitarist Dave Manley's poise and connection gave a voice to the music.PERFORMANCE: Manley and North's funky energy talked each other as they backed up the bass and drums on certain tunes. The selection of music in the short 30-minute set seemed to compliment many moods. The music was mellow enough for a kicked back martini-kind-of-night and grooving enough to dance to.SUMMARY: Based out of Philadelphia, PA, the Dave Manley Band was part of the five day AngelCiti Music Market that showcased over 100 bands from all over the country. Billed as jazz, the quartet chose a well-rounded line up that could have easily lasted much more than 30 minutes. For anyone who appreciates jazz, and digs the blues and da' funk, the Dave Manley Band may just take you there.This #*@! is great!! I was receiving requests from listeners for this guy, and I didn't know who he was. I emailed him and requested that he send me his disc so that I could feature it on my show. And wow!, I have been featuring several cuts from the disc on my show as well as others shows. Highly recommended! Darryl Cottier KASU Radio Phoenix.
