You hear not just in these 10 wonderful melodic pieces, what a Background Katché actually has. Famous as a drummer with pop stars like Peter Gabriel and Sting, as well as Jan Garbarek, surprised the all-rounder on his first album in 14 years with an elegant but exciting jazz recording. And the very first piece of November 99 is from the ground up as strong and melodic so skillfully that it can so calmly continue as a trio. But Katché knows about the class of Thomasz Stanko and Jan Garbarek getragenerTrompete flexible tenor. And you can blame the Norwegians pathos as you want, but here he is a formidable companion and brilliant player with concise solos. He fits in perfectly with the urban-inspired and complex compositions of the drummer. The pieces that are subject to a rather quiet, but basic variable pulse, will never be bored. This is also Katché grooving drums and Marcin Wasilewski sparkling piano, and the gnarled and driving bass of Slawomir Kurkiewicz care. This is an extremely characterful Statement of European jazz.
