CD ECM Records Miroslav Vitous, Jan Garbarek: ATMOS
In stoc1992
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.

CD ECM Records Paul Bley: Ballads
In stoc1971
Paul Bley - pian
Gary Peacock - contrabas
Mark Levinson - contrabas
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.”

In stoc1991
Louis Sclavis - clarinete, saxofon sopran
Dominique Pifarely - vioara
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.

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.

In stoc1984
John Abercrombie - chitara

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.

Michael Brecker - saxofon tenor

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 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
In stoc1978
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.

CD ECM Records Bill Frisell / Thomas Moran: Small Town
In stoc2017 -
Bill Frisell - chitara electrica
Thomas Moran - contrabas
But, most importantly, Small Town represents the guitarist's first recorded encounter with Thomas Morgan in the intimate setting of a duo, the double bassist having first shown up on Frisell's film soundtrack homage, When You Wish Upon a Star (Okeh, 2016). As superb as When You Wish Upon a Star undeniably is, it's in the more naked, completely vulnerable environs of the duo—where the need for musical trust is, perhaps, at its most crucial—that the profound chemistry shared by these two thoroughly synchronized players becomes even clearer.

editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
Steve Tibbetts’ first ECM session found the Minnesotan guitar player journeying with faithful percussionist Marc Anderson to Oslo in 1981, to make what might be his most stark and inner-directed recording, etching sounds in silence. “There is nothing in this music (with titles such as “The Big Wind,” and “Walking”) to hang any defining label on”, commented the Oakland Tribune. “It has overtones of classical, jazz, rock and Martian style but mostly it is just an extreme pleasure for the senses. Approach with an open mind.”

CD ECM Records Kim Kashkashian - J.S. Bach: Six Suites For Viola Solo
In stoc2018
Kim Kashkashian - viola
J.S. Bach : Six Suites For Viola Solo ( BWV 1007-1012 )
The poetry and radiance of Bach’s cello suites (BWV 1007-1012) are transfigured in these remarkable interpretations by Kim Kashkashian on viola, offering “a different kind of sombreness, a different kind of dazzlement” as annotator Paul Griffiths observes. One of the most compelling performers of classical and new music, Kashkashian has been hailed by The San Francisco Chronicle as "an artist who combines a probing, restless musical intellect with enormous beauty of tone." An ECM artist since 1985, she approaches Bach’s music with the same commitment as revealed in her other solo recordings, the legendary Hindemith sonatas album and the widely acclaimed (and Grammy-winning) account of Kurtág and Ligeti.

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."

“Liberally coated in chill-out and even folky atmospheres City is a record that also has a strong vocals input. But there’s also organic acoustic guitar currents flowing in like a hidden river under some concreted-over flyover” - Marlbank
"deserves to be widely heard and appreciated" - All About Jazz
"The stuff of trippy dreams" - London Evening Standard
“Some music is at its best after dark; after all, night is the time for introspection, and this, guitarist Stuart McCallum’s second album for Naim Jazz, is a case in point: we’re truly talking about 3.00am levels of introspection.” - London Jazz

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
