Many Rings is an album by American jazz guitarist Joe Morris which was recorded in 1999 and released on the Knitting Factory label. He leads an experimental quartet featuring bassoonist Karen Borca, saxophonist Rob Brown and accordionist Andrea Parkins.
In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states "This is hardly a session in which the quartet states the theme and the players take turns blowing--when Morris is soloing, you never know who will jump in and respond with some blowing of his or her own."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz observes that "The title piece is the most convincing representation of its unconventional sonority, and some care has been taken to register all the elements with something like democracy."
In his review for JazzTimes Larry Appelbaum states "Everything is rooted in the improviser's collective ability to listen and create spontaneous harmony, pulse and structure."
