December 2007 "10 Favorite Jazz CD's for
2007" - ME 3 (Metonic Records) "Asian films have introduced Americans
to a Buddhist effect in movie soundtracks. Rhythm no longer carries a
story through space but, instead, stays in one place and shimmers. Now
Swiss-born, New York-based keyboard composer Manuel Engel applies the
concept to jazz. Sure, the idea that silence can swing seems
nonsensical. This album proves the opposite."
