Manu Katche

I tend to agree with Tvad. Although I haven't heard "Playground", I do have the "Neighborhood" cd.

He's a good drummer, not agressive, very musical.
The music is nice too. But I wouldn't categorize it as amazing.

Also, take into account that he has a great selection of musicians on the "Neighborhood".

if you like this style of music, you may also like Tomas Stanko(he's on Neighborhood disc by the way) and his rythm section(piano, bass, drums) as a separate band I beleive called a "Triangle".

Vinyldisc , I am so moved by these discs that I am considering flying to the upcoming show in Paris . I am glad you like him as well... Mdrummer , thanks for the comments. Appreciate the heads up on Jan Garbareck. Fellow drummer I salute you ! Speaking of drummers , I didn't know you were a drummer Tvad. Your points are well taken and your input is appreciated . I will check out Holon, thanks .
This thread is simple : to show respect to Manu Katche and invite fans to share their admiration and experiences .

Brainwater,

I certainly like Manu, although I can't honestly say that I quite share your passion for his music. That's fortunate for you!

If you can actually taste it, your enjoyment of this music - like your appreciation of wine, but not poetry or haberdashery - may be due to your discriminating palate. I suppose that poetry books and well tailored suits might be shipped on a discriminating pallet.

In good fun,

Marty
