Keith Jarrett's "Sleeper" from Tokyo, April 16, 1979
U.S. Release date: August 7, 2012 ECM is particularly pleased to present this two-disc set by one of the most outstanding groups of its era, the group often referred to as 'Belonging' or Keith Jarrett’s 'European Quartet', heard here in a previously unreleased concert recording from 1979. After more than three decades in the archive, this ...
Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad un primo ascolto di Sunrise ci si potrebbe domandare quanto in questa musica diafana, reticente e sospesa sia dovuto alla scrittura e quanto all'improvvisazione. Poi, anche leggendo le informazioni del libretto, si comprende che si tratta di improvvisazione collettiva, ma sempre indirizzata dal leader verso un pensoso e malinconico progredire, verso un ascolto reciproco quasi ...
Louis Sclavis Atlas Trio: Sources
by John Kelman
It's not uncommon for artists to shake things up by changing personnel to explore roads previously untraveled, but few push themselves so relentlessly into new territory through revamped instrumentation as Louis Sclavis. Still, since coming to ECM with the auspicious Rouge (1992), the French clarinetist/saxophonist has always maintained continuity between recordings--cellist Vincent Courtois carried over from ...
Arild Andersen: Celebration
by John Kelman
Arild Andersen Celebration ECM Records 2012 With all the activities surrounding the 40th anniversary of ECM Records in 2009--from a three-day festival-within-a-festival at that year's Enjoy Jazz Festival in Mannheim, Germany, and the budget-priced Touchstone Series reissue of forty essential ECM titles, to the publication of an all-German book of commissioned ...
John Surman: Saltash Bells
by John Kelman
There's no denying the “the sound of surprise" of group recordings; working solo, however, provides its own possibilities, despite meaning different things to different people. Pianist Keith Jarrett views it as a means for pulling form from the ether: one man, one piano, in real time. Multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus, on the other hand, considers it a ...
Year of the Snake
by John Kelman
When a group of musicians works together more often in extracurricular configurations with other leaders, what do they do when they come together for their own project? In the case of saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballard-- who, individually and collectively, have worked with everyone from pianist Brad Mehldau and guitarist Kurt ...

Giovanna Pessi - Susanna Wallumrød: If Grief Could Wait
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tra le numerose, non etichettabili sperimentazioni vocali tra classica, contemporanea, folk e pop che ECM sta promuovendo e mettendo in catalogo negli ultimi anni, questa a firma dell'arpista svizzera Giovanna Pessi e della cantante norvegese Susanna Wallumrød è sicuramente tra le più riuscite e interessanti. La Wallumrød, sorella del noto tastierista e compositore Christian, è cantante ...
Steve Kuhn: Wisteria
by John Kelman
Context, they say, is everything. With nearly 50 albums as a leader in a career that now spans 55 years--and stints with everyone from saxophonist Stan Getz and flugelhornist Art Farmer to trumpeter Kenny Dorham...even a brief stint with saxophonist John Coltrane--pianist Steve Kuhn's best and most varied work has been across the now-ten albums recorded ...
Dino Saluzzi - Anja Lechner - Felix Saluzzi: Navidad de los Andes
by AAJ Italy Staff
La regione di La Puna, nelle Ande. Quegli altipiani sospesi tra cielo e terra, tra vulcani e ampi silenzi, con la natura a farla da padrone. E la delicatezza di un bimbo, il miracolo della nascita, la festa del Natale. Questo lo scenario che fa da sfondo a “Navidad de los Andes," album in cui sin ...
