June Tabor / Iain Ballamy / Huw Warren: Quercus
by John Kelman
Awaiting release for more than seven years, Quercus is not the first time ECM has branched into the realm of traditional British music combined with jazz improvisation. Unlike the rawer and more unfettered freedom of producer Steve Lake's inspired pairing of singer Robin Williamson with improvisers including violist Mat Maneri, bassist Barre Phillips and Swedish traditionalist ...
Lucian Ban / Mat Maneri: Transylvanian Concert
by John Kelman
It's been six years since Mat Maneri last appeared on ECM, collaborating with singer Robin Williamson on the British traditionalist's exploratory The Iron Stone (2007); even longer since the violist shared a marquee for the German label, on 2004's Angles of Repose, with his now-deceased father, microtonal reed player Joe Maneri, and bassist Barre Phillips; even ...
Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette: Somewhere
by John Kelman
It's been four years since a recorded peep has been heard from pianist Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio, despite continuing to perform a few select dates each year. But even its last few ECM releases--2009's Yesterdays, 2007's My Foolish Heart and 2004's The Out-of-Towners--were all culled from a clearly fruitful 2001, making it well over a decade ...
Charles Lloyd / Jason Moran: Hagar's Song
by Enrique Turpin
No habrá que pasar por alto que la grabación de Hagar's Song no está producida por Manfred Eicher, sino por el propio Charles Lloyd junto con su mujer y mánager Dorothy Darr. El asunto debió de surgir de un modo natural, mientras el matrimonio observaba tal vez una de las fantásticas puestas de sol que se ...
Eberhard Weber: Résumé
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ormai impossibilitato a tornare a esibirsi su un palcoscenico per le conseguenze dell'infarto che lo ha colpito nell'aprile 2007 mentre era in tour con il gruppo di Jan Garbarek, il contrabbassista Eberhard Weber non rinuncia a fornirci qualche nuovo esempio della sua arte, curando personalmente questo CD composto da dodici frammenti estratti dalle sue esibizioni in ...

Paul Motian: Paul Motian (Old & New Masters Edition)
by John Kelman
In a time when leadership roles are being thrust increasingly upon young musicians who may have the chops, the technique and the theory, but not the experience, drummer Paul Motian could be considered a lesson in patience, in waiting for the right time, in holding off for the precise moment of readiness.It's not that ...
Craig Taborn Trio: Chants
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Craig Taborn's first ECM Records release under his own name, Avenging Angel (2011), garnered well-deserved praise as a worthy entry into the German label's long line of solo piano recordings by stellar artists such as Paul Bley, Chick Corea and, of course, Keith Jarrett. With Chants, a piano trio outing, Taborn will be held up ...
Craig Taborn: Chants
by John Kelman
While he's been making himself a ubiquitous presence on the jazz scene for the past two decades--playing with everyone from saxophonists Tim Berne, David Binney and Chris Potter (on the equally stellar The Sublime And (Thirsty Ear, 2003), Graylen Epicenter (Mythology, 2011) and The Sirens (ECM, 2013), respectively), to bassists Michael Formanek and Scott Colley (whose ...
June Tabor, Huw Warren, Iain Ballamy: Quercus
by John Eyles
June Tabor has been superb for so long that it is easy to take her for granted as England's finest female traditional folk singer. Despite holding that status for many years, she has never seemed to rest on her laurels. Alongside the traditional folk songs on which she built her reputation, Tabor has a repertoire broad ...
