Description
Extending the concept initiated with his critically-acclaimed Jazz Composer's Orchestra Update album, described by Down Beat as "pretty fantastic", Michael Mantler radically reworks music from several phases of his career.
On Coda he shapes favourite pieces - a personal "best-of" - into new musical suites, now played by an orchestra comprised of both jazz and classical players. Source material is drawn from the albums 13 and 3/4, Cerco un paese innocente, Alien, Folly Seeing All This, For Two and Hide And Seek.
Coda was recorded at Vienna's Porgy & Bess Studio in September 2019, and mixed at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France.
Press:
"The CD is a successful hybrid of jazz and classical music with the balance between the two just right, rich orchestral writing on the one hand and well integrated effective instrumental solos on the other." - LondonJazzNews
