1992 CD BMG Ariola - 262263

It's About Time is the first solo album released by session drummer Manu Katché. The musicians on the album are people Katché worked with on projects with Sting, Peter Gabriel, and others.



hen the talented session drummer Manu Katche decided to release his own solo effort, his colleagues from studio gigs with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, and Dire Straits were happy to sign on to help the talented Mr. Katche record It's About Time. Among them, guitarists Daniel Lanois, keyboardist Simon Clark, and sax legend Branford Marsalis join Katche to create some thrilling jazz- and funk-influenced rock cuts. Warm and soulful, Katche's tunes reflect the influence of Nothing Like the Sun-era Sting, perhaps more than any of the other artists that the drummer previously supported. Highlights include the soul crooner "Lost In You" and the upbeat opener "Cry of Passion." While the lush, delicate tracks on It's About Time generally don't live up to the standards of Katche's most famous employers, there are enough good moments on this 1992 release to warrant a recommendation to fans of this accomplished musician and his famous cohorts.

Vincent Jeffries - All music Guide



In den Bands von Sting, Peter Gabriel oder Robbie Robertson fiel er mit raffinierten Rhythmen auf, jetzt wagt sich der Schlagzeuger Manu Katché an sein Solodebüt. Auf "It's About Time" schwelgt der 1958 in Paris geborene Afrikaner in den Einflüssen seiner bisherigen Arbeitgeber, läßt aber auch die Sounds seiner Heimat nicht außen vor. "Black rhythmic music" nennt Katché seinen Mix aus sophisticated Pop Marke Gabriel, Blue-Jazz à la Sting und ethnischen Grooves - ein gelungener Solo-Einstand.

Jahrelang war Drummer Manu Katché solides rhythmisches Rückgrat von Superstars wie Sting. Da schien - siehe Titel - ein Solowerk überfällig. Das beeindruckt durch die Liste höchstkarätiger Musiker: Pino Palladino, David Sancious, Branford Marsalis, Daniel Lanois - plus Peter Gabriel und Sting. Die Songs sind griffig, pendeln zwischen funky Fusion (Who I Am) und Sting-Inspiration (Silence). Doch spätestens bei poppigen Schmeicheleien (Lost In You) offenbart Katchés Stimme Schwächen: zuwenig Punch; trotz exzellenter Produktion.
