 He is Manu Katché, previously a drummer for P. Gabriel, Sting, and R. Robertson, now dedicated to somewhat more elite musical activities with Jan Garbarek, giving life to this second work of his (the first "It's About Time" from 1991 consisted of pop songs), which fully establishes him as a member of the ECM lineup.
