Here is a work worthy of extreme attention

The protagonist is a trio formed by the Cuban pianist Yaniel Matos and the Brazilians Du Moreira on bass and Riccardo Mosca on drums. The three explore the common traits and divergences between their musical ideas, keeping aloof from the abused concept of Latino jazz.

They chose the name Mani Padme which recalls a distant culture. Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning he who wears jewels and lotus (remember John Coltrane's Om record?), is the most important magic formula of Tibetan Buddhism. Despite these heterogeneous references and the roots of its members, the trio is distinctly Jazzy.

This frst CD constitutes, as Margo Giorgi well observes in the liner notes, an extraordinary debut: "As soon as you hear the frst notes, your attention is captured by the depth and poetry that pervade the entire recording."
