Michael Mantler: Coda - Orchestra Suites

Expanding on the concept begun with his critically acclaimed album Jazz Composer's Orchestra Update, described by Down Beat as "pretty fantastic," Michael Mantler radically reworks music from various stages of his career. On Coda he shapes favorite pieces - a personal "best-of" - into new musical suites, now played by an orchestra composed of both jazz and classical musicians. The source material comes 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 in September 2019 at Porgy & Bess Studio in Vienna and mixed at La Buissonne Studios in the South of France.
