What a great and pleasant surprise to see a new release by the great composer, Michael Manter, who has been impressing the musical world for 60 years with his distinctive, very dark hued music.
This features a small and unusual quartet + a string quartet and the teriffic vocals of John and Annie.
Recommended! But NOT for those nights alone with box cutters in reach...
“We are very proud of adding to our artists log such a great musician, immense composer, poet: Michael Mantler.
I always admired his work since I was a kid and I think all of his records are in my collection. In a way it was quite natural for two other great artists to be involved in this brilliant project: long time Mantler collaborator John Greaves and the amazing Annie Barbazza. I hope you enjoy this live recording as much as I do and appreciate the care we all put in making this stunning album sound so beautiful: It was mixed by Michael Mantler with Alberto Callegari at legendary Elfo Studios and recorded at the temple of jazz and new music in Vienna, the fantastic Porgy and Bess Club.”
