Helge Lien Trio: Badgers and Other Beings
by Neri Pollastri
Era qualche anno che non si parlava di Helge Lien, pianista norvegese piuttosto affermato ma poco noto da noi. Dopo l'approdo all'etichetta tedesca Ozella Music, che lo ha aiutato a imporsi con il suo trio prima con Hello Troll (2008), poi con Natsukashii (2011), eccolo dunque con questo nuovo Badgers and Other Beings, che vede l'ingresso ...

Arve Henriksen: The Nature of Connections
by John Kelman
Few artists could call an album The Nature of Connections with as much veracity as Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen. There's been the myriad of collaborations on his own albums--just a small handful of the contributors to recordings including Places of Worship (Rune Grammofon, 2013), Cartography (ECM, 2008), Strjon (Rune Grammofon, 2007) and Chiaroscuro (Rune Grammofon, 2004) ...
Manfred Eicher: ECM - Selected Signs III - VIII
by John Kelman
When München's Haus der Kunst sponsored a nearly three-month exhibition about the ECM Records label, ECM: A Cultural Archeology, which ran from November, 2012 to February, 2013, there was far more to it than just bringing together collections of album covers, rarely seen video, archival tapes, imagery and concert performances. As much as ECM has carved ...

Vilde&Inga: Makrofauna
by Eyal Hareuveni
It is almost unimaginable that an established label, as the acclaimed German label ECM, will embrace the debut recording of young musicians just out of the music academy and release it as it is. But that is what happened with the Norwegian classically trained duo Vilde&Inga-- violinist Vilde Sandve Alnæs, and double bass player Inga Margrete ...
Christian Wallumrod Ensemble: Outstairs
by Vic Albani
Stabile abitante del sottobosco ECM da oltre tre lustri, Christian Wallumrød è davvero un musicista peculiare che usualmente sfugge all'analisi profonda di molte penne dell'universo della critica internazionale. Probabilmente (e, per fortuna, ci piacerebbe aggiungere) perché da almeno un ventennio riesce sistematicamente a sfuggire dall'orripilante mania dell'etichettatura. Per sfortuna sua, nei tempi moderni, questo è quasi ...

Arve Henriksen: The Trumpet is My Pen
by Nenad Georgievski
Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen is one of a handful of creative upstarts, like trumpeters Nils Petter Molvær or Erik Truffaz, who are embracing electronics and the improvisational side of jazz in their music. Henriksen's music is an otherworldly amalgamation of different and sometimes opposing elements, with imaginative soundscapes built on the tradition that trumpeter Miles Davis ...
