Michael Formanek: Small Places
by John Kelman
It's no secret that pathological fans view every artist discovered as a new branch on an endlessly growing musical tree. It should come as no surprise, then, that labels--at least, those run by folks as pathological as the fans they hope to attract--operate with the same eye to discovery and expansion. ECM has, in its forty-plus ...
Marc Johnson / Eliane Elias: Swept Away
by Dan McClenaghan
Swept Away is certainly a collaborative effort--co-led by Eliane Elias and bassist Marc Johnson--but it seems more like the pianist's set. The Sao Paolo-born pianist, Elias, penned five of the disc's eleven tunes, and co-wrote two more with her musical/life partner, Johnson. The duo, in league with drummer Joey Baron and, on five tunes, saxophonist Joe ...
Marc Johnson / Eliane Elias: Swept Away
by John Kelman
It's a relatively rare occasion when Marc Johnson releases an album under his own name, but based on the bassist's track record--from Bass Desires (ECM, 1985) through to Shades of Jade (ECM, 2005)--it's always one to celebrate. As Johnson fast approaches 60, it seems like only yesterday that he emerged as the bassist in Bill Evans' ...

John Surman: Saltash Bells
by AAJ Italy Staff
Proprio quarant'anni fa John Surman pubblicava per la Help (sottoetichetta della Island Records dedicata ai progetti musicali più sperimentali) il suo primo disco registrato completamente in solitudine, Westering Home. Cinque album analoghi gli avrebbero fatto seguito, tra il 1979 e il 1994, per la ECM, da Upon Reflection che marcò il suo esordio da titolare per ...
Alexei Lubimov - Natalia Pschenitschnikova: John Cage: As It Is
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se ci avessero fatto ascoltare questo CD bendati, pochi sarebbero stati i dettagli in grado di farci capire che il compositore di questa musica era John Cage. I dettagli che rimandano a Cage sono presenti nei pezzi per piano e piano preparato. Le composizioni per voce e piano, straordinarie, o quelle per voce sola affondano in ...
Garth Knox: Saltarello
by Hrayr Attarian
Violist Garth Knox is certainly not a jazzman in the traditional sense of the word. Nevertheless, he is well adept at musical improvisation. He has worked with the revolutionary Ensemble Intercontemporain with its cross-genre experimentation, as well as pioneers of free jazz such as Joelle Léandre, George Lewis and Steve Lacy. Knox's “Fuga ...

Louis Sclavis Atlas Trio: Sources
by Ian Patterson
Multi-reedist, composer and improviser Louis Sclavis' ninth release for ECM sees this eternally restless seeker of new sounds and textures heading once more into personally unchartered territory; this is the first time Sclavis has led a trio of clarinet, guitar and piano. In guitarist Gilles Coronado and pianist Benjamin Mouassy, Sclavis has recruited open-minded musicians with ...
Dansere
by John Kelman
Of all the box sets released so far as part of ECM Records' Old & New Masters Edition series, none have documented a period of such rapid growth and change as that of Jan Garbarek and Dansere, which collects the Norwegian saxophonist's three recordings with Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson: Sart (1971), Witchi-Tai-To (1974) and Dansere (1976). ...
