Tord Gustavsen Trio: Seeing

Read "Seeing" reviewed by Konstantin N. Rega


It is difficult to create a big or stirring sound with a small group of musicians. However, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen and his trio offer an expansive, sophisticated and diverse sound on their album Seeing. With its meditative qualities, the album follows in the footsteps of the trio's previous releases, such as The Other Side (ECM, ...

Se di quest'ultimo è inutile aggiungere altro, trattandosi di uno dei grandi interpreti dell'improvvisazione europea dell'ultimo ...

Tord Gustavsen Trio: Seeing

Read "Seeing" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


A moving stillness undergirds and empowers Seeing, pianist Tord Gustavsen's tenth triumph for ECM. From the scraping arc through the first mood shift of “Jesus, Make Me Still" it is possible to lock in on the blue gospel vibe and shut the door to the cluttered details and emails of the day. And never ...

Giovanni Guidi: A New Day

Read "A New Day" reviewed by Mark Corroto


There is some positive momentum surrounding Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi, especially with the trio he established with American bassist Thomas Morgan and Portuguese drummer João Lobo. Guidi's trio produced two excellent releases for ECM, City Of Broken Dreams (2013) and This Is The Day (2015). Their brand of music--let's call it the Bill Evans trio with ...

Vijay Iyer: Compassion

Read "Compassion" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


L'ottavo album da titolare del pianista Vijay Iyer per la ECM è anche il primo a riprendere una formazione già utilizzata, per la precisione nel precedente Uneasy pubblicato nel 2021, non considerando un altro disco in trio ma con differenti interpreti (Break Stuff, del 2015). Negli altri lavori Iyer ha spaziato dalla suite cameristica con un ...

Jordina Millà and Barry Guy: Live In Munich

Read "Live In Munich" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


There is an elusive, impossible logic to Live In Munich, an album that could sound so much like so many before it. But it does not. Because the music that roils tidal between Catalan pianist Jordina Millà and British bassist Barry Guy on their debut concert performance may be more the sound of creation than music ...

Tomasz Stańko Quartet: September Night

Read "September Night" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Una musica sospesa, carica di pathos, magari sempre un po' uguale a se stessa (all'interno di questo album, che viene da lontano, essendo stato inciso addirittura nel 2004, ma più in generale nell'ultima produzione di Tomasz Stanko), ma in possesso di un potere seduttivo immutato, e peraltro con periodiche impennate (per esempio in “Euforila," ma anche ...

Pat Metheny: Bright Size Life

Read "Bright Size Life" reviewed by Chris May


Reissued as part of ECM's 180gm-vinyl audiophile Luminessence series, Bright Size Life was originally released in 1976 and features Pat Metheny leading his then regular touring trio completed by bassist Jaco Pastorius and drummer Bob Moses. It is a lively and lovely album and rediscovering it should be a delightful experience for anyone who has perhaps ...
