Iva Bittova: Iva Bittova
by John Kelman
In its four-plus decade career, ECM Records has done more to blur, stretch and dissolve musical boundaries than any other label on the planet. With the world becoming a smaller place it's also become a fertile breeding ground for cross-cultural, cross-genre cross-pollination, with ECM on the vanguard of the inevitable consequences, having released countless examples of ...
Wislawa
by John Kelman
Since returning to the ECM fold in 1994 to record Matka Joanna (1995), Tomasz Stańko has virtually rebooted a career that demonstrated significant promise back in the 1970s, when he released Balladyna (1976) for the label, and worked with others including Finnish drummer Edward Vesala and American bassist Gary Peacock. The Polish trumpeter was far from ...
Tomasz Stanko New York Quartet: Wislawa
by AAJ Italy Staff
Inciso a New York nel giugno scorso, questo nuovo lavoro del settantenne trombettista polacco è stato concepito in memoria della poetessa, sua connazionale, Wislawa Symborska, scomparsa il 1° febbraio 2012 e, fra le tante cose, Pemio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1996. Il quartetto che lo firma è quello classico, con piano, basso e batteria, però ...
Jan Garbarek - Egberto Gismonti - Charlie Haden: Magico-Carta de Amor
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non si è ancora smorzato l'entusiasmo degli appassionati per la pubblicazione di Sleeper, lussuosa testimonianza inedita di un concerto giapponese del 1979 del quartetto europeo di Jarrett, che la ECM sforna dai propri archivi un'altra sfavillantissima gemma d'annata. Anche questo è un live inedito ultratrentennale (la registrazione è del 1981) di una formazione dalla breve vita ...
Stefano Battaglia Trio: Songways
by John Kelman
Since his relationship with ECM began in 2003, Stefano Battaglia has been consistent in his use of different constellations for each recording, from 2006's double-disc Raccolto, where the Italian pianist worked with two different trios, and 2007's Re: Pasolini, another two-CD set where one employed a more broadly defined sextet and the other a string-centric quintet, ...
Charles Lloyd / Jason Moran: Hagar's Song
by Ian Patterson
Saxophonist/composer Charles Lloyd's 16 albums for ECM since the late 1980s represent a body of work as important as the influential recordings he made for Columbia and Atlantic in the 1960s. Lloyd's recordings with his latest quartet, Rabo de Nube (2008), Mirror (2010), Athen's Concert (2011) and, now, Hagar's Song, stand together as a special chapter ...

Stefano Battaglia Trio: Songways
by AAJ Italy Staff
Formula insidiosa e affascinante come probabilmente nessun'altra, il piano trio ha senza alcun dubbio, sulla mappa del jazz contemporaneo, nel nucleo raccolto attorno a Stefano Battaglia una delle sue massime espressioni (non solo a livello nazionale, ovviamente). Questo splendido album, inciso nell'aprile 2012 e freschissimo di stampa, arriva giusto giusto a confermarcelo (e ricordarcelo). La magica ...
Moskus: Salmesykkel
by John Kelman
For a country isolated in the north of Europe, Norway has experienced a surprising number of musical waves. The first came in the early '70s, when producer Manfred Eicher and his fledgling ECM Records label brought the Scandinavian “big five"--Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson and, from Norway, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Arild Andersen and ...
Charles Lloyd / Jason Moran: Hagar's Song
by John Kelman
Looking back at Charles Lloyd's sizable discography as a leader, what's becomes immediately clear is that the saxophonist has shared a number of special, long-term musical relationships with pianists: first, Keith Jarrett, in the quartet that brought Lloyd considerable fame and commercial success in the 1960s; and then Bobo Stenson, when he returned from nearly two ...
