SUMMARY:Karen Mantler Trio
DESCRIPTION:Composer\, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Karen Mantler returns to the stage with her collection of songs about the current times we live in. Her distinctive voice and chromatic harmonica playing are featured in tales of woe offset by deadpan humor and bluntly elegant compositions. Set in a fascinating minimalist context\, she is supported by Doug Wieselman on guitar and bass clarinet and Kato Hideki on bass. \nKaren Mantler is the daughter of jazz musicians Carla Bley and Michael Mantler. As a songwriter and bandleader\, she has attracted a world-class roster of musicians to her band over the years\, including Steven Bernstein\, Eric Mingus\, Arturo O’Farrill\, and Doug Wieselman. As an instrumentalist and vocalist\, Mantler has performed frequently in Europe with various musicians\, most notably John Greaves\, Chris Cutler\, Peter Blegvad\, Dagmar Krause and Annie Whitehead.

Robert Wyatt included three of Karen’s compositions on his 2003 recording\, Cuckooland\, which also featured her on chromatic harmonica and vocals. She was briefly a member of Anton Fier’s band The Golden Palominos in 2013. Her 5th CD as a leader (featuring Doug Wieselman and Kato Hideki) was released in 2014 on the label XtraWATT (ECM). Downbeat magazine gave the album 4 1/2 stars. She appears on the Ghost Train Orchestra / Kronos Quartet recording Song and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog as a guest vocalist and chromatic harmonica player and has performed with them several times in NYC. In 2024\, she played chromatic harmonica and Hammond organ on her mother’s final big band arrangement “Blue Palestine”\, which was commissioned by Arturo O’Farrill for The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra and appears on his recording Mundoagua: Celebrating Carla Bley. \nKato Hideki is a composer\, musician & producer. His compositions include: Hope & Despair featuring Dougie Bowne\, Zeena Parkins & John Zorn; Tremolo of Joy featuring Charles Burnham\, Briggan Krauss\, Ed Tomney & Calvin Weston; and Tokoshieni for Ballet X\, which was performed at the Kennedy Center and was awarded the Charles and Joan Gross Family Prize.
