Bobo Stenson Trio: Sphere
by Mike Jurkovic
Bobo Stenson first rose to recognition as a sideman and in-house pianist in the late '60s with saxophonist Sonny Rollins, vibraphonist Gary Burton, and saxophonist Charles Lloyd, among many others. But it was in 1971, alongside drummer Jon Christensen, that he established his subtle, humorous shadings and folkish, earthy style with Underwear (ECM). Yet Stenson's intimate ...
Stephan Micus: Thunder
by Mario Calvitti
Il polistrumentista tedesco Stephan Micus è sicuramente uno degli artisti contemporanei più originali, e non solo nel catalogo ECM dove è abbondantemente rappresentato con 25 album (compreso questo ultimo, pubblicato in concomitanza col settantesimo compleanno dell'artista) che costituiscono la quasi totalità della sua discografia. Ciò che lo rende assolutamente unico è il suo personalissimo approccio alla ...

Enrico Rava: The Song Is You
by Mario Calvitti
Non sempre gli incontri tra grandi musicisti producono risultati artistici all'altezza delle aspettative, necessariamente alte, e spesso procurano invece delusioni più o meno cocenti. Fortunatamente non è questo il caso della coppia formata dal trombettista Enrico Rava e dal pianista Fred Hersch, entrambi musicisti ampiamente affermati e senza bisogno di presentazioni, ma che finora non avevano ...
Sebastian Rochford / Kit Downes: A Short Diary

They reunite on the poignant and cerebral A Short Diary. Rochford began his relationship with ECM Records as part of the Andy Sheppard-led ...
