Carla Bley - Andy Sheppard - Steve Swallow: Trios
by Luigi Sforza
Trios--ultima produzione dello strepitoso trio composto da Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard e Steve Swallow--è uno di quei progetti musicali felicemente riusciti, in cui l'assoluta spontaneità espressiva dell'atto creativo lascia magicamente traccia di sé negli esiti. Questa produzione ECM è intellettualmente stimolante, possiede un suggestivo potere incantatorio e sprigiona una decisa, sana e positiva energia a bassa ...
Yeahwon Shin: Lua Ya
by Alberto Bazzurro
Piccolo capolavoro di minimalismo vocale (ma anche strumentale), quest'opera seconda della giovane cantante coreana (dopo Yeahwon, del 2010, dedicato al Brasile e come tale insignito di una nomination al Latin Grammy) si muove lungo la sottile linea che va dal duetto, alternativamente con i suoi due dirimpettai, al trio, suo traguardo massimo. Il canto di Yeahwon ...
Norma Winstone: Dance Without Answer
by John Kelman
If there's a single accomplishment that can be attributed to ECM Records--though there are, of course, many in its 45-year history--it's that it welcomes unusual instrumentation with open arms, affording such collaborations the opportunity to grow, to evolve, and build a new language.

The closing sentence of an All About Jazz review of The Well (2012), in fact, says it all: “ If Changing Places [2003] announced an important new pianist on the international stage, ...
Arild Andersen / Paolo Vinaccia / Tommy Smith: Mira
by John Kelman
The debut of Arild Andersen's now longstanding trio with Scottish saxophonist Tommy Smith and Italian expat drummer Paolo Vinaccia on Live at Belleville (ECM, 2008) came as no small surprise, even to those familiar with the Norwegian bassist's work on the label--dating right back to its inception on Jan Garbarek's classic Afric Pepperbird (ECM, 1971), as ...
Yeahwon Shin: Lua Ya
by John Kelman
Korean-born now New York-resident singer Yeahwon Shin leaves the largely Brazilian-informed repertoire of her 2010 ArtistShare debut, Yeahwon, behind for a most worthy return to her roots with Lua Ya, her ECM debut that, released late in the summer of 2013, is still worthy of a look as the new year begins. Featuring, on a few ...
