"Yet, his accomplishments stretch well beyond the Roxy Music ranks, including issuing acclaimed solo albums (such as 1975's compelling "Diamond Head") and appearing with a number of other groups (most notably, the experimental supergroup 801 with fellow Roxy mate Brian Eno). Manzanera is also a longtime David Gilmour collaborator, co-producing two of the classic-rock titan's solo albums as well as Pink Floyd's "The Endless River," and playing in Gilmour's band on a pair of high-profile tours."
"Manzanera's production credits further include working with John Cale, Split Enz and Enrique Bunbury, to name but a few. Manzanera even spent some time as the musical director for Bob Dylan and is probably still cashing checks from one of his songs being sampled on the Jay-Z and Kanye West single "No Church in the Wild." His far-reaching career is the subject of a new 11-disc box set retrospective - "50 Years of Music" - as well as his 2024 memoir "Revolución to Roxy.""
