Overview
Jacam Manricks is a Sacramento-based saxophonist and composer who operates across multiple contexts in the city's jazz scene. He is a featured horn player in the Beth Duncan / Joe Gilman quintet — one of Sacramento's most active SJC-presented groups — and independently leads his own quartet and orchestra configurations. His shows page lists performances at The Sofia and regional venues alongside Sacramento Jazz Cooperative dates. [1][2]
Working Groups
As a sideman, Manricks is a consistent presence in SJC productions:
- Beth Duncan quintet — saxophone alongside Joe Gilman (piano), Steve Homan (guitar), Matt Robinson (bass), Tim Metz (drums) [2]
As a leader, he performs under his own name with a quartet and, for larger events, an expanded orchestra configuration. His compositional output gives him a presence in the scene as a writer rather than just an interpreter of the standard repertoire. [1]
