Arild Andersen: Affirmation
by Mario Calvitti
Il contrabbassista norvegese Arild Andersen è uno dei protagonisti di quella generazione di musicisti (insieme a Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Jon Christensen, Bobo Stenson, Edward Vesala) che grazie all'etichetta ECM, nel cui catalogo è presente con regolarità fin dal lontano 1971, ha contribuito all'affermazione del jazz scandinavo fino ad allora praticamente sconosciuto. Per il suo più ...
Dominic Miller: Vagabond
by Cary Tenenbaum
The third album by guitarist Dominic Miller echoes the melodic, moody, romantic sounds of a Sting album without lyrics or singing. What we hear is the instrumental interplay of Miller with pianist Jacob Karlzon, bassist Nicolas Fiszman and drummer Ziv Ravitz. The comparison is not surprising as Miller has played with Sting for the last 30 ...
Kenny Wheeler: Gnu High

Enrico Rava: The Song Is You
by Richard J Salvucci
There are times when the reason for listening is that something is beautiful. What exactly qualifies as beautiful is one of the long-running controversies in Western philosophy, not a matter for amateur debate when the contributors include people such as Hume, Kant, or Hegel. Surely, above the pay grade of the average critic. Not ...
Mette Henriette: Drifting
by Mike Jurkovic
Dreamlike in construction and execution, Norwegian saxophonist Mette Henriette's second distinctive statement for ECM exudes a warm, innate ability to imbue the everyday and the invisible with a sense of calm that neither sedates nor fatigues. A quiet triumph, Drifting fashions fifteen soft, safe places for her wandering kin to take their rest. Akin ...
Mette Henriette: Drifting
by David Bruggink
With her self-titled double album debut in 2015, Norwegian saxophonist Mette Henriette arrived on ECM Records, and the international jazz scene, with an impressively assured artistic statement. On it she introduced her versatile technical skills, running the gamut from untamed skronk to near-silent breathing, all presented with her wintry perspective--a perfect fit for the chilly atmospheres that ...
Paul Giger: ars moriendi
by Mario Calvitti
Il violinista svizzero Paul Giger è uno degli artisti più originali e meno etichettabili nel catalogo ECM, dove è presente con sette titoli compreso questo recente ars moriendi, tutti molto diversi l'uno dall'altro. Il suo personale approccio alla musica che ha mostrato nei suoi album consiste in una combinazione di composizione e improvvisazione, mescolando antico e ...
