(ENG)
After 4 years from his first record as leader 'I wouldn't be sure', Manolo Cabras brings out his new work under his name,'Melys in Diotta'. During his carrier as a side man, Cabras appears at the sides of artists like Enrico Rava,Toots Thielmans, Paolo Fresu, Roswell Rud, Charles Gale, Marshal Allen, Maria Pia De Vito, Marc Murphy, Eric Vloeimans, Jasper Blom, Jesse van Ruller, Benjamin Herman, Eric Inneke, Wolfert Brederode, etc...

In 2003 Manolo Cabras gets involved in the Belgian jazz-scene. He plays and/or records with the Ben Sluijs Quartet, Toots Thielemans Quartet, Manuel Hermia Trio, Chris Joris Quartet, Frederik Desmyter Quartet (ft. John Ruocco), Pierre Vaiana Quartet, Eve Bouvens Heptatomic and Erik Vermeulen Trio.

For this project, the Manolo Cabras Quartet exists of 4 unique musicians that share their roots in the traditional jazz. Jean-Paul Estiévenart, Nicola Andrioli and Marek Patrman belong definitely to the finest of the Belgian actual jazz scene.

In Cabras' compositions his band is invited to a continuous research within the structure, a daring game where tradition is never far away but yet challenged and joyfully explored. This band resonates jazz strongly while remaining surprisingly fresh. Reminiscing Miles, Coltrane or Ornette in its concept of swing while revealing a large spectrum of colours with the expressive melodies of Manolo Cabras.
