Manu Katché - Playground
Review by Michael Woodward
Manu Katché's "Playground" is an album that showcases the French drummer's prowess as a composer and arranger. The album features a mix of jazz, rock, and world music, and is characterized by its intricate rhythms and catchy melodies.
The album opens with "Swing Piece," a swinging jazz track that features Katché's crisp drumming and the melodic saxophone of Tore Brunborg. "Song for Her" is a beautiful ballad that showcases Katché's sensitive side as a composer and features the haunting vocals of Norwegian singer Beady Belle.
"Loose" is a funky, groove-driven track that features the blistering guitar work of Norwegian jazz guitarist Jacob Young. "Walking by Your Side" is a soulful, bluesy track that features the soulful vocals of American singer and songwriter Jimi Tenor.
