ECM Recordings is one of the leading and most respected jazz labels in the world. For many jazz musicians its an achievement being on ECM, a dream coming true.

At PG Special Agent I am working with two new projects that are related to this fine establishment.The American duo Mat Maneri / Lucian Ban; coming out with their duo debut for ECM entitled “Transsylvanian Concert”. 
And the Italian pianist and drummer Emanuele Maniscalco who is an artist just added to the agency. I will work with him solo, and he is out now on ECM with his trio “Third Reel” feat. Nicolas Masson (sax), Roberto Pianca(gui) and Emanuele Maniscalco (dr).




















Emanuele Maniscalco (1983) is living and working in Copenhagen. Still a student at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen supervised by renowned Danish pianist Carsten Dahl ,where he will finish his  Post Graduate as soloist in summer 2014. Emanuele is a very talented and versatile musician who has both the drums and piano as “main instrument”.  He has studied in Italy and played on more than 15 releases as bandleader and sideman via Italian labels in the past. His is working on various new projects and the moment. Among them is the trio THIRD REEL project out now on ECM feat Nicolas Masson (sax), Roberto Pianca(gui). Future release projects also include duo collaboration with US bass player Thomas Morgan.
