At The Deer Head Inn: The Complete Recordings
by Joshua Weiner
Pianist Keith Jarrett is the only artist with his own subheading on the main menu of ECM Records' new US website. That attests to his fruitful association, beginning in 1971 and continuing to the present day, with the independent German label known for its dedication to artistic freedom and beautiful sound. Though a series of strokes ...
John Taylor: Tramonto
by Neil Duggan
British pianist John Taylor (1942-2015) possessed a remarkable talent for eluding the global recognition his skills warranted. A former house pianist at London's Ronnie Scott's club, Taylor probably achieved his widest acclaim through Azimuth, the group he formed with vocalist Norma Winstone (his wife) and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler. His trio recordings with drummer Peter Erskine and ...

DBD Trio
Born:
DBD Trio is a band from Poland, their music is a synthesis of ideas about jazz. Each musician brings their unique baggage of musical experiences to embark on a journey together.
Expressive melodies create a nostalgic atmosphere that can transport the recipient to a non-existent place. The classic formula of an acoustic piano trio makes you realize how much there is still to discover in this area. This music can be the sound background of a smoky jazz club, as well as the idyllic landscapes of a winding river. A honest and simple message will certainly find its audience.
The project started in 2023, with a meeting of three friends: Mateusz Dymek- piano, Dominik Drapikowski -drums, Piotr Bober- double base, the name DBD comes from first letters of their names.
Dino Saluzzi: El Viejo Caminante
by Doug Collette
El Viejo Caminante is a natural and logical extension of Dino Saluzzi's Albores (ECM, 2020). On that solo album, the bandleader used his instrument (the bandoneon--an accordion-like instrument with origins in Germany) to mesmerize and during this companion piece/sequel, Saluzzi's interplay with his two bandmates is comparably hypnotizing. As such, the album belies the ...
Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation
by Artur Moral
Reality is filled with confusion and misunderstandings; some are suggestive or creative, while others are disappointing or, worse, malicious. The jazz world is no stranger to the first type: specific compositions are often confused or misidentified as if they were the same. Usually, this happens because of similar melodies or titles that are sometimes identical. This ...
Julia Hülsmann Quartet: Under the Surface
by Neri Pollastri
Tre quarti d'ora di musica suddivisa in dieci brani, con atmosfere mutevoli che convergono verso la title track e nel corso dei quali il rodato quartetto della pianista tedesca si allarga più volte a quintetto, ospitando la norvegese Ildegunn Øiseth: questo in estrema sintesi l'ultimo lavoro di Julia Hülsmann, ormai una delle figure di spicco dell'etichetta ...
Trygve Seim, Frode Haltli: Our Time
by Neri Pollastri
Fanno coppia da molti anni questi due eccellenti musicisti norvegesi, tanto da essere passati nei nostri festival e aver già pubblicato nel 2008, sempre per ECM, un loro primo album, Yeraz, che adesso replicano presentando un lavoro ancor più maturo e che mescola libere improvvisazioni, composizioni originali, brani etnici e persino una citazione di Igor Stravinsky, ...
Keith Jarrett: New Vienna
by Mario Calvitti
Puntuale, con una cadenza all'incirca annuale, la ECM pubblica un nuovo inedito di Keith Jarrett, estraendo dai propri archivi la registrazione di un concerto tenuto dal pianista a Vienna nel corso del suo ultimo tour europeo del 2016. Con questo sono 4 i concerti da quel tour pubblicati ufficialmente, dei 5 complessivi (manca all'appello il solo ...
Charles Lloyd and Branford Marsalis at The Blue Note Jazz Festival
by Paul Reynolds
Charles Lloyd Big Sky Quartet and the Branford Marsalis Quartet Town Hall The Blue Note Jazz Festival New York City June 28, 2025 Both Charles Lloyd and Branford Marsalis are saxophonists who lead classic quartets and share a similar position slightly left of center within the jazz world--comfortable with hopping ...
Fred Hersch: The Surrounding Green
by Doug Collette
Taken together, Fred Hersch's first two albums for ECM Records can be seen as a bid for recognition as the preeminent pianist in contemporary jazz. The solo work of Silent, Listening (ECM, 2024) complements the trio work on The Surrounding Green, their individual and combined impact heightened by release on the vaunted label in successive years. ...
