Michael Formanek: Small Places
by Troy Collins
Small Places is bassist Michael Formanek's follow-up to 2009's The Rub and Spare Change, his critically acclaimed ECM debut as a leader. While Formanek's sophomore effort for the label features the same high profile sidemen, it differs in that the lineup rehearsed the material live before heading into the studio with producer Manfred Eicher, where every ...
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin: Live
by Dan McClenaghan
Swiss pianist Nik Bärtsch and his group Ronin joined the ECM Records roster in 2006 with their label debut, Stoa. Since then they have produced a new ECM set every two years, with Holon (2008), Llyría (2010), and now their first recorded-in-concert set for the label, the double-disc Live. Ronin's music has been called ...
Arild Andersen & Scottish National Jazz Orchestra: Celebration
by AAJ Italy Staff
Arild Andersen è certamente uno dei più noti bassisti europei e questo eccellente Celebration non fa altro che rinnovare il suo profondo legame con l'etichetta ECM di Manfred Eicher. Legame che era iniziato nel 1970 con i leggendari primi album del saxofonista Jan Garbarek e del chitarrista Terje Rypdal. Album che lanciarono, allo stesso tempo, la ...
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin: Live
by John Kelman
Change can be good, though there's often a sense of loss when a significant adjustment happens. Honing his very specific Ritual Groove/Zen Funk music for more than a decade, Swiss pianist Nik Bärtsch was hit with a particularly big change when Ronin's founding bassist, Bjørn Meyer, left in 2011 to pursue personal projects. The more recent ...
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 ...
