Title: Manu Katche Manu Katche Type: CD Label: ECM Code: 2284 Release date: 2012 Jim Watson piano, Hammond B3 organ Nils Petter Molv?r trumpet, loops Tore Brunborg tenor and soprano saxophones Manu Katche drums, piano solo on Dusk On Carnon Eponymously-titled album from Manu Katche. 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 Katche band currently includes Norwegians Nils Pettter Molvar 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. Titles   1. Running After Years 2. Bliss 3. Loving You 4. Walking By Your Side 5. Imprint 6. Short Ride 7.
