Ciro Manna's first instrumental disc is entitled Feel'n'Groove, and MJ Brady had this to say about it on the Proggnosis web site: http://www.guitar9.com/feelngroove.html




"Ciro Manna does not follow in the tradition of the guitarists of his age group, he's a 25 year old that sounds more like a vintage fusion player twice his age. Where most younger players are following the metal or rock styles of playing, Ciro seems mainly affected by the jazz, funk and blues players that have defined the instrument since the guitars most innovative eras. His playing has a nice blend of hard edged funk and fusion not unlike the styles of Robben Ford, Scott Henderson, or even a little Mike Stern. He is a well versed player that also has a keen sense for writing, as this is actually one of those rare recordings that is fun to listen to all the way through. He has surrounded himself with some talented musicians to help bring his musical adventures to life, each player compliments Ciro's compositions with the additions of their own personal skills, displaying a lot of dazzling musicianship in their own right."
