Extending the concept initiated with his critically-acclaimed Jazz Composers Orchestra Update album, described by Down Beat as pretty fantastic, Michael Mantler radically reworks music from several phases of his career. On Coda he shapes favourite pieces a personal best-of – into new musical suites, now played by an orchestra comprised of both jazz and classical players. Source material is drawn from the albums 13 and 3/4, Cerco un paese innocente, Alien, Folly Seeing All This, For Two and Hide And Seek. Coda was recorded at Viennas Porgy & Bess Studio in September 2019, and mixed at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France.
