Keith Jarrett/Charlie Haden/Paul Motian: Keith Jarrett/Charlie Haden/Paul Motian: Hamburg '72

Read "Keith Jarrett/Charlie Haden/Paul Motian: Hamburg '72" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

Early on in Keith Jarrett's relationship with ECM (the label had released the solo Facing You in 1971), the pianist was recording for three different labels and dabbling in multiple group formations including this trio. In retrospect it's almost unimaginable that a better triad could have existed in comparison to that of Hamburg '72. Jarrett--adding flute, ...

With Sleeper: Tokyo, April 16, 1979 (2012) and Magico: Carta de Amor (2012), ECM Records began digging into its archives, unearthing two live recordings that revealed even more about a collection of artists whose reputations were already plenty secure as some of the label's most important from its early years--in the first case, pianist Keith Jarrett's ...

by AAJ Staff

Come mi è capitato di sottolineare in un ritratto monografico dedicato al batterista poco dopo la sua scomparsa [nel numero 164/gennaio 2012 della rivista BlowUp], non è certo casuale che la figura di Paul Motian abbia trovato una sua piena rilevanza negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, quando il jazz ha iniziato a riflettere in modo sistematico ...

Tord Gustavsen: Extended Circle

Read "Extended Circle" reviewed by Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè

In una certa tradizione ECM questo disco ci propone una delle più rappresentative espressioni del jazz scandinavo, un'immagine nordica impressionistica, nitidamente caratterizzata, per altro contraddetta da tante altre esperienze “forti," nate a quelle latitudini nell'ultimo ventennio. Le composizioni sono prevalentemente del leader: “Staying There" può ricordare le collaborazioni fra Keith Jarrett e Jan Garbarek degli anni ...

Anja Lechner / François Couturier: Moderato cantabile

Read "Moderato cantabile" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

On Moderato Cantabile cellist Anja Lechner and pianist Francois Couturier interpret music that is simultaneously spiritual and folklore-ish with supple eloquence and sophisticated vibrancy. Intermixed with works from Greco-Russian guru George Gurdjieff, Armenian musicologist Komitas and Spanish composer Federico Mompou are Couturier's own jazz inflected pieces that maintain the overall mystical theme of the release.
