Keith Manning
Keith Manning is a tabla and percussion player whose work brings Indian classical rhythm into jazz and Latin-inflected chamber settings.
On Travelling On (TP061) his tabla and percussion help shape a light, propulsive trio sound with nylon-string guitar and saxophones, drawing on Indian classical music, Latin and flamenco colours within jazz.
The same rhythmic palette colours Passion Fruit (TP106), a programme that mixes jazz, Latin and Indian strands.
