Manu Katche: Playground
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non è facile realizzare un album che sia classico, in senso jazzistico, non banale e capace di uscire dallo stereotipo del filone in cui si inserisce. Playground del batterista francese Manu Katche riesce ad essere queste tre cose insieme. Lungamente al fianco di Peter Gabriel, Sting, Youssou n’Dour e Jan Garbarek, Katche aveva già convinto con ...
Manu Katche: Playground
by Budd Kopman
Part of what makes jazz so fascinating is its stylistic breadth. Indeed, the word jazz is almost synonymous with “that-which-shall-not-be-defined," but labels are a shorthand that can help relate a given release's main characteristics. Playground, drummer Manu Katché's second release as a leader after Neighbourhood (ECM, 2005), resists the application of a label, but “ECM Smooth ...
Manu Katche: Playground
by John Kelman
It may not appear until the fourth track in, but the propulsive “So Groovy" could easily have been the title for the follow-up to Manu Katché's award-winning ECM debut, 2005's Neighbourhood.

He may be better known as the rhythm engine behind popular music icons like Sting and Peter Gabriel, but Manu Katché has always been more than a simple backbeat, despite his unerring ability to create accessible, danceable grooves. His work on ECM stalwart Jan Garbarek's albums I Took Up the Ruins and In Praise of Dreams ...
Manu Katche: Neighbourhood
by R. Emmet Sweeney
It's a quiet day in the Neighbourhood. Manu Katché's ECM debut understates everything with a calm reserve, threatening to fade into the background without a fight (or a sax squawk). Check out the titles: “Lullaby," “No Rush," and “Lovely Walk," all urging your fragile attention to wander from the lilting tune. But then Tomasz Stanko steps ...
Manu Katche: Neighbourhood
by Nenad Georgievski
Neighborhood, Manu Katché's ECM debut, is full of wonders. The drummer is joined by his old comrade Jan Garbarek (saxophone) and Tomasz Stanko (trumpet), as well as Marcin Wasilewski (piano) and Slawomir Kurkiewicz (bass), who are part of Stanko's quartet. The band creates music full of small epiphanies and the seductive warmth that is typical of ...
