Iro Haarla: Ante Lucem for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Quintet
by Angelo Leonardi
Fino al suo debutto da leader per l'ECM con Northbound, più di un decennio fa, il nome della pianista e arpista finlandese era praticamente sconosciuto, anche tra il pubblico del suo Paese. Eppure ebbe un ruolo significativo all'ombra del marito Edward Vesala, suonando nei suoi gruppi per tutti gli anni ottanta e componendo splendidi temi per ...
Magnus Ostrom: Parachute
by Mike Jacobs
Some things take time. Perhaps Magnus Ostrom's third offering Parachute, will signal the end of the need for comparisons to his former iconic enterprise--The Esbjorn Svensson Trio. Or perhaps not. Tall order, that. Even eight years and multiple solo albums after Svensson's tragic death, EST still casts a long shadow for both ...
Iro Haarla: Ante Lucem for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Quintet
by Mark Sullivan
Finnish pianist/harpist/composer Iro Haarla devoted the early part of her career to the music of her then-husband, the late drummer/composer Edward Vesala.

Mats Eilertsen: Rubicon
by John Kelman
It's no news to learn that we're the confluence of our many experiences: life, love, music....everything that we are comes from where we've been, what we've done, what we've experienced.

The fourth album of the Norwegian Eple Trio--pianist Andreas Ulvo, bassist Sigurd Hole and drummer Jonas H. Sjøvaag--marks an exciting new chapter in the trio ten years of work. The album was recorded in a remote studio in the vast forestry scenery of Sweden where evolution, its most extreme and barren forms challenges humanity, where the ...
Manu Katche: Touchstone for Manu
by John Kelman
With only four records released as a leader on ECM, it may seem a little early to release a “best of" disc for drummer Manu Katché. But having since moved on to fellow German label ACT for Live in Concert, while Touchstone for Manu is only being released in North America in the summer of 2015, ...
Manu Katché: Touchstone for Manu
by Mark Sullivan
Drummer Manu Katché found the spotlight supplying the groove to recordings by rock artists Peter Gabriel and Sting, then to jazz artists Jan Garbarek and Herbie Hancock. His four ECM recordings as leader showed him to be an accomplished composer and bandleader as well. Now that he has apparently left the label, Touchstone for Manu is ...
