Myele Manzanza: A Love Requited – The Remixes EP

Myele Manzanza A Love Requited – The Remixes EP First World Records Maybe there’s something in the fact that Myele Manzanza is a drummer – I mean first and foremost (he’s a DJ, producer, beatmaker, bandleader…) – but there’s just something, outside of an accessibility, that lends his tunes to being remixed. So much so […]

Myele Manzanza: A Love Requited 

Myele Manzanza   A Love Requited  First World Records UK  ONE was Myele Manzanza’s debut solo album – by the time of which he was a veteran of so many performances, sideman, band-member, DJ, composer. He had runs on the board already. And it showed. So much so that by the time of OnePointOne (his American live debut) that very first solo album felt like bedsit-leftovers.  That’s […]

Myele Manzanza: OnePointOne (Live at the Blue Whale)

Myele Manzanza OnePointOne (Live at the Blue Whale) First Word Records It could almost be hard to believe that this is the debut American performance by Kiwi-born drummer/band-leader Myele Manzanza  – so sure is he, so assured is this trio, but then, if you heard his debut solo album, ONE or his work with Australian […]

Stubs: #151 – Ross McHenry Future Ensemble, Wellington, 2015

The Ross McHenry Future Ensemble was part of the bill for this year’s Jazz Festival and a fine gig this was too. I went with not a whole lot of expectation – by which I mean I was open, hoping to see something great, but really not sure what I was going to get. Okay, […]
