Manu Katche


I was wondering is it just me or is his 2 albums { Playground and Neighborhood } simply amazing works of jazzart. I find them both hypnotic and engaging . Intelligent and reserved , the music is filled with black space that allows the notes to linger and develop. I am addicted to both . This guy is incredible. Any Manu Katche fans out there?

A finely tailored suit , aged wine and poetry are admired by discriminating pallets . Its often the subtle nuances of speech that signal wisdom . I would imagine Mark Twain to have been soft spoken . Manus work on these 2 albums deserve study imo. What they are not is obvious . What they are speaks volumes to me. Fluid , carefully constructed and woven together instrumental arrangements that are restrained yet convey emotion and passion . His drumming is a Master Class in my eyes but you must dig below the surface to sense it. These albums require patience and attention to their well conceived detail. Background music ... I beg to differ .
Vinyldisc , I am so moved by these discs that I am considering flying to the upcoming show in Paris . I am glad you like him as well... Mdrummer , thanks for the comments. Appreciate the heads up on Jan Garbareck. Fellow drummer I salute you ! Speaking of drummers , I didn't know you were a drummer Tvad. Your points are well taken and your input is appreciated . I will check out Holon, thanks .
This thread is simple : to show respect to Manu Katche and invite fans to share their admiration and experiences .
" I suppose that poetry books and well tailored suits might be shipped on a discriminating pallet."
