Description

MICHAEL MANRING is best known for his many-year collaboration with the late guitar genius Michael Hedges, but he has also worked with players like Wadada Leo Smith, Attention Deficit, Spastic Ink, Henry Kaiser Will Ackerman, Holy Near a.o.
CELSO ALBERTI is a Brazilian-born percussionist who has worked with many A-list musicians over the years, most recently working closely with Steve Winwood.
'Richard and I had been talking about making a record together for years and were thrilled when the stars finally aligned to make it possible. We were also extraordinarily fortunate that bassist Michael Manring and drummer Celso Alberti were available for the date, given their jam-packed schedules. Richard was familiar with Michael and Celso's playing, and readily agreed that we should record together as a quartet. I believe there is a timeless quality to the music on Mu due both to its improvisational origins, and intentional choices made during its subsequent development.' – Barry Cleveland
