John Abercrombie on ECM - Part 1: Through the '80s
by Budd Kopman
Now that the The First Quartet set of recordings by guitarist/composer John Abercrombie from 1979-1981 has been released, it is as good a time as any to explore Abercrombie's career on ECM as a leader/co-leader, plus some his work as a sideman.

Mark Wingfield: The Continuing Evolution of the Electric Guitar
by John Mark McGuire
I was first introduced to the music of Mark Wingfield through listening to his first duo album with the inventive genius of Massachusetts acoustic mastermind, Kevin Kastning.

Various Artists: Hommage à Eberhard Weber
by Mario Calvitti
Sono passati 8 anni da quel giorno del 2007 quando un ictus colpì il contrabbassista Eberhard Weber durante un tour con il gruppo di Jan Garbarek lasciandolo semiparalizzato e incapace di continuare l'attività concertistica. Per non rimanere completamente inoperoso in campo musicale, Weber ha recentemente pubblicato due CD, Resumé e Encore, contenenti suoi assoli di contrabbasso ...

Eberhard Weber: Hommage à Eberhard Weber
by Mark Sullivan
Hommage celebrates the 75th birthday of bassist/composer Eberhard Weber. His distinctive custom-built, five-string electro-acoustic upright bass sound has been the foundation of many ECM recordings, almost right from the beginning: as leader of his own groups; longtime sideman for saxophonist Jan Garbarek; and other ECM recording artists including Ralph Towner, Gary Burton, Wolfgang Dauner, Pat Metheny ...
