Manu Katché • Third Round

Intensified commitment to the French-African drummer’s programme of “beautifully mutated grooves and jazzy themes” (to quote The Guardian) distinguishes Manu Katché’s third ECM album. Inside an all-new line-up, bassist Pino Palladino nonchalantly reinforces the groove element – he and Katché have much shared history as sessioneers – and helps the pulses of Manu’s tunes to dance. Pianist Rebello has both delicacy of touch and energy to burn, and saxophonist Brunborg, currently playing at a peak, solos passionately on Katché’s melodies. Guest guitarist Jacob Young shades and colours a handful of pieces, while Kami Lyle adds innocent vocals to “Stay With You”. Recorded in the South of France in December 2009 and issued on the eve of a major European tour, “Third Round” is poised to be one of the season’s jazz hits.

El compromiso intensificado con el programa del batería franco-africano de "grooves bellamente mutados y temas jazzísticos" (en palabras de The Guardian) distingue el tercer álbum de Manu Katché para ECM. Dentro de una formación totalmente nueva, el bajista Pino Palladino refuerza despreocupadamente el elemento groove -él y Katché tienen mucha historia compartida como sesionistas- y ayuda a que los pulsos de las melodías de Manu bailen. El pianista Rebello tiene tanto delicadeza de toque como energía para quemar, y el saxofonista Brunborg, que actualmente toca en su mejor momento, hace solos apasionados en las melodías de Katché. El guitarrista invitado Jacob Young matiza y colorea un puñado de piezas, mientras que Kami Lyle añade voces inocentes a "Stay With You". Grabado en el sur de Francia en diciembre de 2009 y publicado en vísperas de una importante gira europea, "Third Round" está llamado a ser uno de los éxitos jazzísticos de la temporada.
