Manu Katche - Third Round (2010) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

On Manu Katché’s third ECM album, released in 2010, the French-African drummer surrounds himself with a fresh group of musicians spearheaded by bassist Pino Palladino who effortlessly reinforces the groove; as a rhythm section Katché and Palladino are truly in synch, having shared much history as session players over the years. Pianist Jason Rebello reveals both delicacy of touch and energy to burn and saxophonist Tore Brunborg solos passionately while guest guitarist Jacob Young shades and colours a handful of pieces and trumpeter Kami Lyle appears on "Flower Skin". Lyle also provides vocals on the country-flavoured "Stay With You" which she co-wrote with Katché.

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.
