Jakob Magnusson: Future Forecast
Neo-jazz keyboardist Jakob Magnusson joins us for a listen to his new album of jazz from the future
Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri introduce us to the music of Transylvania
“Overall, emotions veer towards the sombre, and viola and piano are engagingly close-knit. Maneri’s mid-range slurs and upper-register sustains add mystery to Ban’s confident harmonic touch and a sense of foreboding when voicings become dense.” — Financial Times
CLUJ-NAPOCA: on Transylvanian Dance, pianist Lucian Ban and violist Mat Maneri find fresh inspiration in folk songs and dance tunes collected by Béla Bartók a century ago.
Recorded live, the duo’s second album for ECM also bears testimony to the finely attuned understanding that Ban and Maneri have achieved in their long-running musical partnership.
Come welcome Lucian and Mat to our show!
