When Romanian-born pianist Lucian Ban and Grammy-nominated violinist Mat Maneri joined up for a concert in an opera house in the middle of Romania’s Transylvania region, the music was, as Jazz Times puts it, “as close as it gets to Goth jazz”. Released in 2013 by ECM Records, Transylvanian Concert features a program of self-penned ballads, blues, hymns and abstract improvisations, the whole informed by the twin traditions of jazz and European chamber music. The album has won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including several Best Album of the Year awards, and has spawned continuous touring throughout the world ever since. Currently, Maneri are presenting music from their follow up album for ECM entitled Transylvanian Dance due to be released in the
first part of 2024.
