Ambrose Field - John Potter: Being Dufay
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gli incontri improbabili (almeno sulla carta) tra musiche e musicisti apparentemente distantissimi tra loro sono da sempre una scommessa personale, quasi sempre vinta, di Manfred Eicher e delle sue produzioni per la ECM. Basti pensare a quello che forse è il suo maggior successo personale, l'album Officium in cui il sax tenore di Jan Garbarek improvvisava ...
Stefano Battaglia - Michele Rabbia: Pastorale
by AAJ Italy Staff
A sei anni da Stravagario 2 e nove dal precedente Stravagario, Stefano Battaglia e Michele Rabbia tornano a documentare su disco il loro straordinario duo, stavolta per l'etichetta ECM, quanto mai adatta ad un progetto come il loro. La cifra del duo è rimasta sostanzialmente immutata, più che giustamente vista la sua originalità: atmosfere sospese, tra ...
Manu Katché: Third Round
by AAJ Italy Staff
Manu Katché è un batterista molto versatile. Tanto versatile da trovarsi perfettamente a proprio agio in qualunque contesto. Sul canale televisivo franco-tedesco Arté, il nostro conduce una trasmissione musicale intitolata “One Shot Not," nella quale veste i panni del'house drummer e siede alla batteria accompagnando i diversi ospiti della trasmissione (che possono essere raffinatissimi jazzisti come ...
Terje Rypdal: Crime Scene
by Karl Ackermann
Norwegian guitarist and ECM principal, Terje Rypdal has defied narrow and expedient labels throughout his long career. Originally a rocker, he joined Jan Garbarek's quartet (and ECM) in 1969. In the course of his career, he has composed a number of symphonies, two operas, a violin concerto and many modern works that, as often as not, ...
Marilyn Crispell / David Rothenberg: One Dark Night I Left My Silent House
by John Kelman
There are those who decry pianist Marilyn Crispell's move towards sparer, introspective free improvisation with Nothing ever was, anyway. Music of Annette Peacock (1997)--the beginning of a now nearly 15-year association with the German ECM label. For those who prefer their spontaneity impressionistic rather than expressionistic, however, it has yielded a relatively small but impressive discography, ...
Manu Katche: Third Round
by Ian Patterson
Drummer Manu Katché's third album as leader on ECM, largely follows suit of his previous two on the legendary German label. A spectacularly inventive drummer, Katché demonstrated on Neighborhood (ECM,2005) and Playground (ECM, 200 7) that he's also a composer of highly attractive tunes, characterized by strong melodies and a gently lilting lyricism, guided by his ...
Third Round
by John Kelman
It would be beyond cute to suggest that Manu Katché marches to the beat of his own drummer. Still, in a career spanning three decades and regularly crossing over between pop, jazz and world music, the French kit-meister has demonstrated a unique propensity for groove and a distinct (and refreshing) avoidance of the “look at me" ...
Steve Tibbetts: Natural Causes
by John Kelman
Alongside Stephan Micus, Steve Tibbetts occupies a somewhat rare position in ECM's roster of longstanding musical collaborators. Like the German composer/multi-instrumentalist, this “Zen Guitarist" defies ECM's general rule of two days to record, one day to mix (with minimal editing and overdubbing); instead, Tibbetts has, with rare exception, recorded his music from a home base in ...
Ketil Bjornstad: Remembrance
by John Kelman
In a career spanning four decades that only began reaching a wider international audience with the release of his first album for ECM, Water Stories (1993), Norwegian pianist Ketil Bjørnstad has collaborated with many fellow Scandinavians, including guitarists Terje Rypdal and Eivind Aarset, bassist Arild Andersen, drummer Jon Christensen and live sampler Jan Bang. Surprisingly, he ...
Keith Jarrett / Charlie Haden: Jasmine
by Dan McClenaghan
In the world of jazz, it's often said that “live is better." The immediacy and spontaneity of a living, breathing, and hopefully rapt audience can lend electricity to a recording foray. For pianist Keith Jarrett, this may be truer than it is for most artists. His Standards Trio, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette ...
