Manu Katché talks about his self titled album (Interview) | ECM Records

Manu Katché: Manu Katché

Jim Watson: piano, Hammond B3 organ
Nils Petter Molvær: trumpet, loops
Tore Brunborg: tenor and soprano saxophones
Manu Katché: drums

Eponymously-titled album from Manu Katché. On his fourth ECM disc, Manu’s unique drumming sets the scene and direction, with compositions and arrangements radiating outward from its rhythm-patterns. His strongly propulsive yet relaxed groove is unlike any other drummer’s, and it lifts up the soloists. Personnel in the ever-changing Katché band currently includes Norwegians Nils Pettter Molvær and Tore Brunborg, first heard together on ECM in the band Masqualero in the 1980s: they still play most attractively together. British keyboardist Jim Watson also makes a strong showing with minimalistically-insistent as well as lyrical piano and thick, swirling organ. Recorded March 2012 in the South of France, and issued on the eve of a major European tour.

Recorded March 2012
