CD ECM Records John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette: Gateway
In stocMartie 1975
John Abercrombie - chitara electrica
Dave Holland - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
"With this record, John Abercrombie both repaved and detoured from his staid path. He could hardly have been in finer company, and the combination seems to have fanned all sorts of flames within him. DeJohnette and Holland string an array of tightropes across which Abercrombie balances his way into previously uncharted territory. [ ecmreviews ]

CD ECM Records John Surman: Private City
In stoc1987
John Surman - clarinet bas, saxofon bariton si sopran, sintetizatoare
If the title of Private City comes about as close as one can get to describing the sound-world of John Surman, then that of its first piece, “Portrait Of A Romantic,” does the same for the man behind it. Its quivering recorder blankets us in warmth, fully realized by an electric piano and bubbling as the waters in a forgotten loch. A bass clarinet swims, a creature of myth remembering a time when its kind were plentiful.

CD ECM Records Wadada Leo Smith: Divine Love
In stoc1978
Wadada Leo Smith - trompeta, flugelhorn, percutie
Dwight Andrews - flaut alto, bas clarinet, saxofon tenor
Bobby Naughton - vibraharp, marimba, clopote
Charlie Haden - contrabas
Lester Bowie - trompeta
Kenny Wheeler - trompeta
Recently described by Vijay Iyer as “one of the greatest recorded works of all time”, Wadada Leo Smith’s Divine Love counts as a classic by any definition. “His sound has strong resemblances to that of Miles Davis,” wrote John Fordham in a five-star Guardian review, “but Smith has absorbed the approaches of all the bebop trumpet heroes and redeployed them within a bold, vital and often ritualistic setting.” The composition “Tastalun” features three outstanding trumpet players, as Lester Bowie and Kenny Wheeler join Smith, and Charlie Haden plays soulfully on “Spirituals: The Language of Love.”

Terje Rypdal - chitara electrica, claviaturi

Audun Kleive - tobe, percutie
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
“His sound is one of the most original and immediately recognizable on the planet,” Guitar Player magazine has noted, identified by “a majestic, echoed, singing tone with precisely articulated vibrato and nearly endless sustain, and a string-like attack via volume-pedal swells.” There is plenty of Rypdal’s signature sound on Blue in the stripped-down context of the Chasers, a band capable of being both a post-Hendrix power trio and an improvising chamber group, exploring Terje’s evocative themes.

CD ECM Records Kenny Wheeler: Double Double You
In stoc1983
Kenny Wheeler - trompeta, flugelhorn
Michael Brecker - saxofon tenor
John Taylor - pian
Dave Holland - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Canadian trumpeter Kenny Wheeler was both a major jazz composer and a soloist given to free flights, thriving on the creative tension between lyricism and fiery interplay. Musicians loved the challenges implied in his writing, as is apparent in every minute of this 1983 session. Wheeler and Michael Brecker make a very fine, mutually-inspiring frontline, and Double, Double You also draws upon several long-established creative relationships. Wheeler and Holland had been close musical associates since the 1960s. Holland and DeJohnette established themselves as one of the great rhythm sections in Miles Davis’s band and on many ECM discs (including Kenny’s Gnu High and Deer Wan). And Wheeler and Taylor were forever in each other’s groups, at the time of this recording also playing in the trio Azimuth.

CD ECM Records Eberhard Weber: The Following Morning
In stoc1976
Eberhard Weber - bas
Rainer Brüninghaus - pian
Philharmonic Orchestra Oslo
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
The interaction of Eberhard Weber’s highly distinctive bass and Rainer Brüninghaus’ lyrical piano is at the heart of a number of popular ECM recordings, starting with Weber’s Colours of Chloë, and extending through the discographies of the Colours band and the Jan Garbarek Group. But the rapport of the two players was rarely better displayed than on 1976’s The Following Morning, where their dialogues are softly cushioned in attractive arrangements for strings, horns and woodwinds.

CD ECM Records Stephan Micus: To The Evening Child
In stoc1992
Stephan Micus - steel drum, voce, dilruba, suling, kortholt, nay, sinding
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Stephan Micus shapes his music by taking the instruments of the world out of their cultural, historical or traditional contexts and blending them in new ways. The colours of To The Evening Child are established through instrumental combinations involving dilruba (a string instrument associated with Hindustani classical music), suling (reed flute of the Balinese gamelan orchestra), nay (end-blown flute of the Middle East), sinding (West African harp), kortholt (German renaissance reed instrument) and steel drum (associated with West Indian calypso). “This music sounds in those hushed spaces where the universe inhales, the sound that keeps all celestial bodies spinning” – Tyran Grillo, Between Sound and Space

CD ECM Records Tarkovsky Quartet: Nuit Blanche
In stoc2011
Francois Couturier - pian
Anja Lechner - violoncel
Jean-Louis Matinier - acordeon
Jean-Marc Larche - saxofon sopran
The music is as subtly strange and delicately dream-like as Tarkovsky’s films and this disc has brief, fully improvised and especially abstract pieces running through it as well as longer, more formal compositions by Couturier, a bit of Vivaldi and an anonymous piece from the 15th century. […] The group improvs, named Rêve, Dream or Traum, sometimes make more use of the other sounds the instruments can make, whether it is percussive pops from the saxophone, wiry slides from the cello or rattling and wheezing from the accordion. Their unplanned nature makes them even more dreamlike in their unexpected twists and incongruities. […] Modern cross-genre chamber music of the highest order, and full of mystery which has the listener finding new things with every play of the disc. [ Peter Bacon, London Jazz News ]

In stoc2011
Francois Couturier - pian
Anja Lechner - violoncel
Jean-Louis Matinier - acordeon
Jean-Marc Larche - saxofon sopran
The music on this album, with ist suite like sequence of compositions that flow like a cinematic reverie, comes across as a film-like invitation to a voyage. The spare, gently unfolding and intensely atmospheric melodies and moods deliver an invitation to listen with open ears … and to dream. Couturier has delivered a wondrous offering with compositions that open a path to a secret world. [ Nenad Georgievski, All About Jazz ]

CD Naim Get The Blessing: Lope and Antilope
In stoc2014
Conceptually Lope & Antilope is different from previous albums as it makes use of sounds collected whilst on the road but crucially, is almost all improvised. With the urge to leave their comfort zone and break some of their recording habits, the album was recorded in an empty pottery in Pembrokeshire. With nothing written, everything on the album came out of four days of improvising. The starting point was often experimentation with sound effects, both acoustic and electric, to which a groove would be added, then a tune, or a solo and so forth. As the band put it, it's "the culmination of 4 days of recording, 3 years of gigging and 12 years of drinking tea and gin."

In stoc2015
“Get The Blessing’s set moves back and forth between mellow to intense, but it’s never indulgent. What makes Get The Blessing such a formidable live act is that their music, no matter how obscure, never fails to entertain. The audience remain enthralled throughout, the accessibility of their music being the key.” - Drunken Werewolf

CD Naim Daniel Mulhern: Pigeon Coup
In stoc2006
Pigeon Coup is the debut album from London-based singer songwriter Daniel Mulhern. Recorded at Ray Davies' Konk Studios, the album was recorded with a group of hugely talented musicians, the end result being a set of melodious and perfectly crafted pop songs.
The album was recorded using predominantly vintage equipment which has captured the immediacy of the performances and complimented the songs with warmth and clarity.
Why the title? It became apparent to Daniel at an early stage of the recording that pigeons were a recurring theme; in the recording studio, in his flat… he realised he was living in a modern day version of The Birds, thankfully without the eye pecking.

CD Naim Laurence Hobgood Trio: Crazy World
In stoc2005
Laurence Hobgood - pian
Rob Amster - bas
Paul Wertico - tobe
Kurt Elling - voce
For Laurence Hobgood's debut recording as a leader, he has chosen the solo piano format. It's a challenge for the most skilled of performers, but for the clearly brilliant Hobgood, it all seems as pure and natural as the driven snow of his native Chicago. Ideas easily tumble forth, rearrangements of standards sound renewed and revived, while the original material he plays is infused with a playful intensity and in many instances classical quality. His regular running mate vocalist Kurt Elling appears on four selections as crooner, wise man or surreal romantic soothsayer. Meanwhile it is Hobgood, as impressive a player as there is anywhere, who commands total attention.

In stoc1982

editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
“The trumpeter sketches a succession of melodies and moods around and over the rich textural detail and earthy solidity of Mr Blackwell’s drumming,” noted Robert Palmer in The New York Times. “The melodies come from Spain, Africa, Jamaica and the modern jazz compositions of Thelonious Monk, but Mr Cherry and Mr Blackwell transform them into a personal music that is as urbane and international as they are. Together, they make El Corazón one of the most impressive duet albums of recent years.” This magical 1982 album, overflowing with character, has remained the reference recording for trumpet and drums duos.
