Tord Gustavsen: Extended Circle
by Libero Farnè
In una certa tradizione ECM questo disco ci propone una delle più rappresentative espressioni del jazz scandinavo, un'immagine nordica impressionistica, nitidamente caratterizzata, per altro contraddetta da tante altre esperienze “forti," nate a quelle latitudini nell'ultimo ventennio. Le composizioni sono prevalentemente del leader: “Staying There" può ricordare le collaborazioni fra Keith Jarrett e Jan Garbarek degli anni ...
InterStatic: Arise
by Vincenzo Roggero
Interstatic è una sorta di power trio formato da virtuosi strumentisti quali il tastierista Roy Powell (Anthony Braxton, Art Farmer, Terje Rypdal), il batterista Jarle Vespestad (Supersilent, Tord Gustavsen) e il chitarrista Jacob Young (Karin Krog, Nils Petter Molvaer, Christian Wallumrod).

Arve Henriksen: Arve Henriksen: The Nature of Connections
by Karl Ackermann
There are musicians who defy compartmentalization based on ever shifting interests and styles. Fewer are those like trumpeter Arve Henriksen whose organic nature precludes musical definition. Throughout his career as a leader on the Rune Grammofon label, he has created collections that seem bound together only by his presence. The delicate Asian influences of Sakuteiki (2001), ...
Arve Henriksen: The Nature of Connections
by John Kelman
Few artists could call an album The Nature of Connections with as much veracity as Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen. There's been the myriad of collaborations on his own albums--just a small handful of the contributors to recordings including Places of Worship (Rune Grammofon, 2013), Cartography (ECM, 2008), Strjon (Rune Grammofon, 2007) and Chiaroscuro (Rune Grammofon, 2004) ...

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 ...

Jacob Young: Forever Young
by John Kelman
While all groups aim for the kind of collective chemistry that can make, for example, five people speak with a single voice, how they get there can vary significantly. In some cases there's instantaneous chemistry; in other cases, it comes from pre-existing relationships amongst various permutations and combinations of its members; in still other instances it ...
