Angles of Repose

Angles of Repose is an album by American reed player Joe Maneri with bassist Barre Phillips and violist Mat Maneri recorded in May 2002 and released on ECM in 2004.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "This music sings. It's true the singing is balladic and dirgelike much of the time, but it is pastoral, too, and gentle and sweetly elegiac. It bears repeated listening and meets the listener readily, offering a standard-bearing effectiveness in how the poetry of collective improvisation should be realized and articulated."
