Phil Manzanera Returns To the Karl Marx

From www.manzanera.com

PHIL MANZANERA AND JACK BRUCE PLAY CONCERT IN CUBA – 27 February, Karl Marx theatre

Phil Manzanera returns to the city where he first began learning the guitar, aged 6 years old, back in 1957. Phil will be playing in concert with his longtime friend, Augusto Enriquez, the celebrated Cuban singer. Phil is also delighted to announce that Jack Bruce, the legendary bassist and singer from Cream, will be appearing with him at this not-to-be-missed very special concert.

The concert will take place on 27 February at Havana’s famous Karl Marx theatre, as part of the annual Habanos Festival. It’s a return visit for Phil, as he last played this venue in 1992 and recorded there the first ever multitrack live album in Cuba with Augusto Enriquez’s band, Moncada. The album, ‘Manzanera Moncada Live at the Karl Marx,’ was released on Manzanera’s label, Expression Records (www.youtube.co/watch?v+BZ6e7sdBntM). Phil is greatly looking forward to playing alongside the great Jack Bruce: they have previously performed together at the Guitar Legends Festival in Seville in 1991 (www.youtube.com/watch?v+MZDmj7Kuw70) and at the San Remo Music Festival.

NTH Entities…..Phil Manzanera does music/Anna leDoes Poetry’ : release date: 30 April 2012

from www.manzanera.com

Phil Manzanera releases ‘Nth Entities’ on 30 April 2012 on Expression Records. This startingly beautiful album is a collaboration with poet, Anna LeDoes Poetry. It is a collection of nine poems set to original music composed by Manzanera, and has four bonus tracks. The project was seeded two years ago when Phil and Anna had a chance encounter at Gavin Martin’s ‘Talking Music Revolutions: Jimi Hendrix’ at a pub in Hoxton. It was Charles Shaar Murray, music writer and Jimi’s biographer, who having been blown away by Anna’s ‘Jimi’ poem, turned to Phil, and said….’you should set that to music’
