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).
