Indeed, "Neighbourhood" is a very appropriate title, for there are several interlocking orbits of personnel within this album. For a start, the CD marks another collaboration between trumpeter Tomasz Stankoand saxophonist Jan Garbarek, the latter whom Katche has been backing on and off since the early '90s. Moreover Stankobrought along part of his Polish rhythm team, pianist Marcin Wasilewskiand bassist Slawomir Kurkiewicz, for the session. Michel Petruccianiis clearly on Katche's mind, for not only is the album dedicated to the late pianist, the reflective, ardently lyrical mood of Katche's compositions -- and Wasilewski's piano work -- are quite reminiscent of Petruccianiat his most relaxed. And Katche can write; his tunes are often wistful and thoughtful, his percussive backing crisp yet subtle, carefully filling in the cracks while keeping just enough of a gentle pulse. The best of the lot, the simple angular tune of "Good Influence," grabs you by the throat, tugs at your heart, and doesn't quit the memory -- sure signs of greatness. By contrast, "Lovely Walk" kicks up the tempo behind an ostinato bass while "Take Off and Land" brings in a touch of fatback funk. If there is a single wellspring behind this music -- besides Petruccianiof course -- Herbie Hancock's acoustic combo recordings of the late '60s come closest in terms of ambience and harmony. Call this album an inspired descendant two generations and an ocean away.
Manu Katche 是著名的法籍非裔作曲家、乐队指挥、鼓手。出生于 1958 年,5 岁开始学习钢琴,14 岁开始学习打鼓。他的鼓有着非洲的节奏和欧洲的古典情结,两者相互作用于 Jazz 乐,整合出属于他的完美结合点——优美且明净的音色,这毫无疑问就是他最大的特色。很多乐评人说他的...

进入 Take Off and Land 之时 那种愉悦怡然的当代感漫溢开来 波兰伙伴的合作妙 致敬 Michel Petrucciani 确实是有了很不错的效果

Manu Katche是鼓手,Marcin Wasilewski是钢琴,天衣无缝呀! ECM乐手Manu Katche最喜欢的一张。 Marcin Wasilewski的CD一直没有买到。 ECM的惊喜不是一张两张,还有多少宝藏呀!
