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 Bill Frisell Band: Lookout For Hope
In stocMartie 1987
Bill Frisell - chitara electrica si acustica, banjo
Hank Roberts - violoncel, voce
Kermit Driscoll - bas
Joey Baron - tobe
"On this, another seminal effort on ECM’s Touchstones, Frisell continued to chart his inimitable sound. The wordless vocals of Hank Roberts in the album’s title opener waver like something from the dream diary of Pat Metheny, with whom Frisell shares much insofar as it is almost impossible to listen to either guitarist without seeing epic films of vivid imagery.

CD ECM Records Dino Saluzzi: Kultrum
In stoc1982
Dino Saluzzi - bandoneon
Dino Saluzzi as a solo performer is one of the more remarkable musicians in contemporary music, in that he plays several instruments, including his beloved bandoneon with such precision, balance and subtle power. Kultrum is indeed a multi-cultural project that taps into the folkloric, ancestral, and traditional sounds of Native American Indians and his South American roots, enhanced by producer Manfred Eicher's Eurocentric notions.

CD ECM Records Kenny Wheeler: Gnu High
In stoc1975
Kenny Wheeler - flugelhorn
Keith Jarrett - pian
Dave Holland - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
Kenny Wheeler’s ECM debut cut against the grain of his previously avant-garde stylistics. Dispensing here with his trusty trumpet for fluegelhorn, Wheeler carved out a niche that still leaves room for no other. The heartening tone of “Heyoke” animates our very bodies with 22 minutes of bliss. After Wheeler’s prophetic intro, Jarrett is given free reign at the keyboard, uttering ecstatic cries as he threads through Holland’s solo while also buoying Wheeler’s instinctive pickups. “Smatter” injects this trio of compositions with a hefty dose of kinetic energy that is sustained by Wheeler’s fluid brass and the tireless volleys of Jarrett. Even as the latter takes his lone passage, one feels the energy lingering like a potential leap into flight. “Gnu Suite” begins smoothly before locking into a downtempo trajectory. An unrepeatable magic occurs as Holland’s magnetic solo opens into the wider ethereal territory of his bandmates’ consecutive reappearances. And as the voices realign themselves, we feel the release of arrival, of knowing that we’ve come home. [ ecmreviews ]

CD ECM Records Norma Winstone: Somewhere Called Home
In stoc1986
Norma Winstone - voce

A milestone in the career of British singer Winstone, as she strips jazz standards to their emotional core and adds words of her own to tunes by Egberto Gismonti, Ralph Towner and Kenny Wheeler.

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.”

Miroslav Vitous - contrabas
Jan Garbarek - saxofon tenor si sopran
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
“Jan Garbarek is my favorite sax player,” Miroslav Vitous has said. “We have an incredible musical rapport and you can hear it. He understands my Slavic melodies and what I use for atmosphere because he’s European and his father was Polish, which is very close to me. I’m from Czechoslovakia. Our musical communication is astonishing: we each sense what the other is about to play.” Atmos, recorded 1992, features seven compositions by Vitous and two freely improvised pieces, yet sounds like the product of a shared mind, so well-matched are the expressive approaches of bassist and saxophonist.

CD ECM Records Dino Saluzzi: Andina
In stoc1988
Dino Saluzzi - bandoneon
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Dino Saluzzi’s solo bandoneon breathes songs of Andean mountain villages, family histories, the changing seasons and more, and draws you into the player’s world of memory, where chorales and tangos and waltzes resound. Saluzzi epitomises the musician-as-storyteller and his compositions on this 1988 recording paint pictures in the mind. Jean-Luc Godard responded to the implied images of Andina and used its music in both Nouvelle Vague and Histoire(s) du Cinéma.

In stoc1971

Barry Altschul - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
First released in the spring of 1971, these historic recordings from March and July 1967 capture the sound of a genre being born in the free ballads of Annette Peacock, played with extraordinary sensitivity by Paul Bley’s trio. Annette Peacock: “Critics introduced new terms, describing this music as sparse, understated, minimal, radically lyrical. The free ballad captured the imagination of listeners for ECM and became requisite for the transformation of accomplished players.”

CD ECM Records Mike Nock: Ondas
In stoc1981
Mike Nock - pian
Eddie Gomez - contrabas
Jon Christensen - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
New Zealand-born pianist Mike Nock made significant creative contributions to new jazz with the electric group The Fourth Way at the end of the 1960s. Ondas, his sole ECM date, recorded in 1981, finds him leading an acoustic piano trio with an adroit bassist and a free-thinking drummer. Nock’s very open compositions leave plenty of space for each of them to shine. Eddie Gomez’s elastic bass is often a second lead voice in these pieces, and Jon Christensen’s pulses are felt as a succession of waves.

Francois Raulin - pian, sintetizator
Bruno Chevillon - bas
Christian Ville - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Clarinettist/saxophonist Louis Sclavis’s first ECM album (recorded 1991) brims over with ideas, creating something fresh at the intersection of jazz and chamber music. Compositions and arrangements on Rouge twist and turn in unexpected ways, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats. With their inspired exchanges at the front of the highly disciplined band on this album, Sclavis and brilliant violinist Dominique Pifarély established themselves as two of the most strikingly original voices on the European improvising scene.

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.

editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Night reconvenes the guitar/keyboards/drums trio that made Abercrombie’s classic Timeless, and adds Mike Brecker on tenor sax for extra emphasis at strategic moments on an album described by the Penguin Guide to Jazz as “surprisingly funky”. All compositions are by Abercrombie apart from “Ethereggae”, the esoteric half-time shuffle tune by Jan Hammer, which opens the proceedings.

CD ECM Records George Adams: Sound Suggestions
In stoc1979
George Adams- saxofon tenor, voce
Heinz Sauer - saxofon tenor
Kenny Wheeler - trompeta, flugelhorn
Richie Beirach - pian
Dave Holland - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
George Adams made only one ECM recording, but it’s a beauty, placing his powerful tenor sax at the front of a talent-packed group, with Adams, Kenny Wheeler and Heinz Sauer all contributing compositions to the programme. “The spirit of Mingus hovers watchfully nearby; Adams is an original, though. His solos roil beneath the restraints of bebop structure, then sail wildly through the roof with a committed passion,” wrote Chicago Magazine. The tenor exchanges between Adams and Heinz Sauer are exciting, and George also delivers a very spirited vocal on “Got Something Good For You.” Recorded 1979.

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 John Surman, John Warren: The Brass Project
In stoc1992
John Surman - saxofon sopran si bariton, alto si bas clarinet, pian
Henry Lowther, Steve Waterman, Stuart Brooks - trompeta
Malcolm Griffiths, Chris Pyne- trombon
David Stewart, Richard Edwards - trombon bas
Chris Laurence - contrabas
John Marshall - tobe, percutie
John Warren - dirijor
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
The original conceptual idea for the Brass Project was to set John Surman’s improvising trio with bassist Chris Laurence and drummer John Marshall at the centre of a radiant brass choir of trumpets and trombones. With John Warren invited to contribute compositions and to conduct the group, the Brass Project quickly evolved into a more organic large ensemble, and by the time of this 1992 recording had become one of the most creative configurations in Britain. The elegant arrangements of Warren’s and Surman’s profoundly melodic music inspire many eloquent and touching solos.

CD ECM Records Barre Phillips: Mountainscapes
In stoc1976
John Surman - saxofoane, bas clarinet, sintetizator
Barre Phillips - contrabas
Stu Martin - tobe, sintetizator
Dieter Feichtner - sintetizator
John Abercrombie - chitara
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Barre Phillips’s Mountainscapes brings together strongly contrasting elements, the furious high-energy playing of the Surman/Phillips/Martin trio juxtaposed with spacious impressionistic pieces originally created for Carolyn Carlson’s ballet dancers. The integration of acoustic instruments and electronics (with three of the musicians playing synthesizers) is beautifully balanced in the production. John Abercrombie dropped by the studio to jam on the last track, raising the energy level still higher. Recorded in March 1976, Mountainscapes was described by Melody Maker as “vast, awesome and glorious” and “a starting point for the shape of jazz to come.”

CD ECM Records Mick Goodrick: In Pas(s)ing

Mick Goodrick: chitara
John Surman: saxofon sopran si bariton, bas clarinet
Eddie Gomez: contrabas
Jack DeJohnette: tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
In Pas(s)ing was Mick Goodrick’s recording debut as leader, after some years with Gary Burton and before that, a spell with Woody Herman. Never very tigerish about self-promotion, Goodrick has spent most of his life teaching in Boston: Jazz Times has called him “perhaps the most influential mentor in the history of jazz guitar.” This 1978 production emphasizes what a creative player he is in his own right, inspired by the great team of players assembled for the session. The playful album title, by the way, alludes to ECM’s first office address, which was, yes, in Pasing.

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 ]
