Michael Manson is tremendously excited about the Thumping' CD/DVD release. He is equally as excited about the possibility to walk the same path as his mentor and friend, the late, George Duke. In his words," It is now my responsibility to use all that I have learned from George, to do all that I can, to make the best music I can, so that I continue the legacy and lineage that he has invested in me. So we move forward. As George would say, " we were there, and now we're here" so here we go".
In the UK - "In fact 'Thumpin' is a glorious amalgam of soul, jazz and R & B all performed to the highest standard imaginable by Manson and some of his fellow Chicago jazz cats. What's more it is as compelling as any CD released this year." Smooth Jazz Therapy
