The Knight

The release of Khan Manuel’s first album has been a long time in coming, but guitar aficionados, a growing army of loyal fans, and music lover’s alike, will, I am confident, find the wait well worth it.

In “ The Knight”, we have an instrumental album with something for everyone…. an album forged, lovingly crafted, and hewn from well over 15 years of ‘doing the hard yards’.

Surprises abound in this offering with everything from sound effects, live performances, audience participation, some truly dazzling guitar solos, harmonic changes calculated to melt your heart, and with some delightfully subtle tempo changes which frankly, somehow sneak under your guard. Most strikingly however, is the exquisite execution, with even the fastest runs delivered with a wonderful cleanliness. [Young up and comer’s_____ please take note!]

Versatility is an essential ingredient in any instrumental collection, and once again this deceptively talented performer delivers the goods with a notable diversity that encompasses everything from well thought-out titles, compositional skills, to all-round musicianship, and all wrapped up in a refreshingly well-developed style. So whether your looking for something to blast you down the highway, or perhaps enhance your private ponderings in front of a cosy fireplace, the ‘Knight’ delivers both boldness and chivalry in equal measure.
