Dominic Miller: Silent Light
by Geno Thackara
Dominic Miller is a guitarist you've undoubtedly heard somewhere or other, whether you've knowingly heard of him or not. A life circling the globe (from Argentina to England and currently France) has let him absorb folk, Baroque and Latin American sensibilities, among other things, which leads to collaborations with similarly eclectic names. His widest exposure has ...
Dominique Pifarély Quartet: Tracé Provisoire
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo lo splendido lavoro in solo Time Before and Time After, Dominique Pifarély torna alla testa di un quartetto che vede schierati due suoi storici collaboratori quali sono Bruno Chevillon e François Merville accanto al pianista Antonin Rayon. La cifra è quella che da sempre caratterizza il violinista francese: un camerismo contemporaneo piuttosto astratto, marcatamente ritmico ...
Tomasz Stańko New York Quartet: December Avenue
by Karl Ackermann
The elder statesman of modern Polish jazz, trumpeter and composer Tomasz Stańko has more than a forty year history with ECM. Dating back to his 1976 label debut, Balladyna, Stańko sounds to have arrived fully-formed, and in the company of Dave Holland and Finnish percussionist Edward Vesala. Stańko's trademark atmospheric and cerebral style is fully intact ...
Ralph Towner: My Foolish Heart
by Nenad Georgievski
There is no lack of poise in guitarist Ralph Towner's music. As the principle writer and guitarist for the band Oregon, a group which since 1970 has blended jazz, world music, and classical elements together, he has garnered a well-deserved reputation as one of the most virtuosic guitar players ever. For years, Towner has been consistently ...

Julia Hülsmann Trio: Sooner And Later
by Karl Ackermann
After expanding to an instrumental quartet--a quintet, with the vocalist Theo Bleckmann included--pianist Julia Hülsmann returns to a trio formation on her fourth ECM release, Sooner And Later.

The music of this album is a clear example of ...
Craig Taborn: Daylight Ghosts
by Vincenzo Roggero
Misterioso. E imperscrutabile. Si presenta così il nuovo album di Craig Taborn. Perché le certezze del primo brano -oh, ecco il Taborn che conosciamo, il suo approccio, i punti fermi del suo stile, le linee guida della sua estetica in bella evidenza -svaniscono nel resto del lavoro. Dove ci si addentra progressivamente e irrimediabilmente in una ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant
by Mark Sullivan
Sometimes there's no substitute for experience, as demonstrated by this trio as it celebrates its tenth anniversary as a working unit. Last heard on Equilibrium (ECM, 2012), it's an international group that met through a series of lucky coincidences: Berlin-based pianist/composer Benedikt Jahnel is joined by Spanish bassist Antonio Miguel and Canadian drummer Owen Howard. Jahnel ...
Craig Taborn: Daylight Ghosts

In addition to his copious sideman work (including multiple recordings with James Carter, Roscoe Mitchell, Tim Berne, Michael Formanek, and Chris Potter, among many others) pianist/keyboardist Craig Taborn has found time to record intermittently as a leader since 1994's Craig Taborn Trio (IDW). This is his third ECM album, following the solo Avenging Angel (2011) and ...
