Budd Kopman's Best Releases of 2016
by Budd Kopman
Of the seventy or so albums I was fortunate to review this year (with many still waiting in the wings), the releases below (in chronological order) are those that moved me the most and hence that I remember the clearest, even after a year.

Lucian Ban Elevation: Songs from Afar
by Neri Pollastri
Residente negli USA ma nato e cresciuto a Teaca, villaggio della Transilvania, il pianista Lucian Ban presenta in questo CD una panoramica della sua poetica, cangiante fin dalla disposizione della formazione: un classico quartetto con il sax tenore di Abraham Burton, che si allarga a quintetto in quasi tutte le tracce per la presenza della viola ...
Dave Liebman: Expansions: The Puzzle
by Budd Kopman
The Puzzle is the terrfic follow-up recording by David Liebman's new group, Expansions, the first being Samsara.

Manfred Eicher: ECM - Selected Signs III - VIII
by John Kelman
When München's Haus der Kunst sponsored a nearly three-month exhibition about the ECM Records label, ECM: A Cultural Archeology, which ran from November, 2012 to February, 2013, there was far more to it than just bringing together collections of album covers, rarely seen video, archival tapes, imagery and concert performances. As much as ECM has carved ...
