Manu Katche

Katche's early reputation was forged as a pop drummer with Sting and Peter Gabriel, but this Frenchman was also playing with saxophonist Jan Garbarek as long ago as 1989. This is his first solo recording for the ECM label, and Katche has managed the impressive feat of enticing the Norwegian Garbarek and Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko into being his horn front-line.
