LUCIAN BAN & MAT MANERI “TRANSYLVANIAN CONCERT” LUCIAN BAN & MAT MANERI “Transylvanian Concert” Concert & Workshop Oct 30th Blackerby Stage and Studio Ticketing details will be announced sept 30th This event is presented with support from the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York Transylvanian born, NYC based pianist LUCIAN BAN and American violist and Grammy nominee MAT MANERI will be touring Fall 2017 the US south & southwest presenting material from their award winning 2013 ECM release “Transylvanian Concert” 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. Workshop : “The music of George Enescu and the traditional music of Romania in contemporary jazz and improvisation” When Romanian-born pianist Lucian Ban and Grammy-nominated violinist Mat Maneri joined up for a concert in an opera house in Targu Mures in the middle of Romania’s Transylvania region, the music was, as Jazz Times puts it, “as close as it gets to Goth jazz.” 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, and album has won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including several Best Album of 2013 awards, and has spawned continuous touring. The Guardian (UK) noted Transylvanian Concert’s “own kind of melancholy beauty and wayward exuberance”, The New York Times called it “a lovely and restive new album”, All About Jazz hailed its “moments of unanticipated beauty”, L.A. Weeklytalks about a performance that is “mesmerizing, evocative and sensually explicit” and The Village Voice calls it “is one of those records that whisk you away”. JAZZ WEEKLY talks about “A modern collection of sonatas that erase the lines between jazz and classical, a melding of sounds similar to a modern liturgy”.
