Ep. 8: Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Lickerish Quartet, Jellyfish, Beck & more)

ABOUT ROGER JOSEPH MANNING JR: Roger Joseph Manning Jr. has
enjoyed a long and fruitful career as a touring keyboardist,
session player, arranger, and producer. His latest project is the
band The Lickerish Quartet. Roger's arranging career began as early
as 1989 when he began arranging string, brass, wind and vocal
ensembles for his first band, Jellyfish, which he co-founded.
Out of the ashes of Jellyfish arose his second co-founded
project, Imperial Drag from 1994-97, which saw overwhelming
overseas success, particularly in England and Japan. From
1995-97 he co-founded the all-vintage electronic duo known as The
Moog Cookbook. This group was started solely as a means of having a
forum to express its love for the bygone era of vintage
synthesizers and exotic keyboards. Ultimately it became his calling
card for longtime friend and collaborator, Beck
Hansen. Roger began his over 20-year and still-active
relationship as Beck’s sideman, touring the world and
recording critically acclaimed albums. Not to mention work
with other artists such as Fun!, Paramore and others. ABOUT THE
