LUCIAN BAN AND MAT MANERI Transylvanian Concert
Released in 2013 by ECM Records, the Transylvanian Concert album features a program of self-penned ballads, blues, hymns and abstract improvisations, the whole informed by the twin traditions of jazz and European chamber music. The album won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including several Best Album of 2013 awards. As Jazz Times puts it, as close as it gets to Goth jazz.
Now, Transylvanian born, NYC based pianist LUCIAN BAN and American violist and Grammy nominee MAT MANERI are touring the US in October 2016 presenting material from the award winning ECM release and premiering new music for a follow up album:
Sun Ra & Paul Motian re-imagined pieces, Transylvanian doinas, re-constructed Enesco and Bartok pieces, original compositions, microtonal songs and more.
JAZZFRESNO is proud to present the duo's only Central Valley appearance!
