Anja Lechner / François Couturier: Moderato cantabile
by John Kelman
ECM Records has long divided its discography in two: the regular series, representing music of a more improvisational bent; and its New Series, featuring largely classical music ranging from the contemporary to the archaic, but more truly defined in its through-composed nature. Still, the line between the two has, however, often been a porous one, where ...

Matthias Schubert / Simon Nabatov Duo: Descriptions
by Glenn Astarita
Descriptions marks the initial alliance of venerable European improvisers, tenor saxophonist Matthias Schubert and pianist Simon Nabatov.

One of many highlights is framed on alto saxophonist Hayden Chisholm's ...
