European guitar legend Philip Catherine with a new all-star trio with fellow guitar great Paulo Morello and renowned bassist Sven Faller.

For the first time, European guitar legend Philip Catherine has recorded songs that were close to his heart in his youth and formative years. The album „Manoir de mes Rêves' - named after his favorite composition by jazz pioneer Django Reinhardt - introduces a new all-star trio with fellow guitar great Paulo Morello and renowned bassist Sven Faller. Most of the fondly selected tunes originated in Paris in the 1950's and 60's, including compositions by Georges Brassens, Henri Salvador, Eddy Louiss and Django Reinhardt. Along with the famous Bossa Nova „Recado' and unusual arrangements of 'Insensiblement' and 'I'll see you in my dreams' (both associated with Django's mastery), this material proves to be perfect vehicle for the trio's classy interplay that displays an intimate sense of groove paired with witty ideas and sophisticated melodic counterpoint. Newer compositions include Paulo Morello's upbeat Gypsy-Swing 'Claudia's Delight' and Nicola Andrioli's ingenious 'To Philip'. Also for the first time, Philip has recorded two songs associated with his departed friend, Belgian vocal star Maurane. The Trio of ''Manoir de mes Rêves'' is an encounter of two generations of European jazz, deeply rooted in the transatlantic tradition yet fresh and full of youthful esprit.
