Fabia Mantwill Orchestra: Whirl the Wheel

By

View read count
German saxophonist Fabia Mantwill is also an adventurous composer and arranger for large ensembles. Her new album, In.Sight, is her most ambitious to date—a wide-ranging and deeply imaginative project recorded with the Fabia Mantwill Orchestra, which features a vibrant mix of young players from Berlin's buzzing jazz scene.

The album also marks Mantwill's debut on GroundUp Music, the label founded by Snarky Puppy's Michael League—further cementing her growing international presence. The new release features high-profile guests including Anat Cohen, Kurt Rosenwinkel—who, fittingly, is now a Berlin resident himself—and on "Whirl the Wheel" Roosevelt Collier on lap steel guitar. This video beautifully captures Fabia Mantwill's many facets, and the spirit behind this song: the pulse of life, a dance of joy, carefree, wild.
