1980
Pat Metheny - chitara acustica si electrica
Charlie Haden - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
Dewey Redman - saxofon tenor
Michael Brecker - saxofon tenor
AllMusicGuide : "Pat Metheny's credibility with the jazz community went way up with the release of this package, a superb two-CD collaboration with a quartet of outstanding jazz musicians that dared to be uncompromising at a time when most artists would have merely continued pursuing their electric commercial successes. [...]
The two original LPs were organized so that the more distinctive Metheny fusions were on sides one and four and the overt jazz tracks occupied sides two and three."
1978
Pat Metheny - chitara
Lyle Mays - pian, claviaturi
Mark Egan - bas
Dan Gottlieb - tobe
AllAboutJazz:
"This album stands out abit from the others I've reviewed here so far (for a number of reasons). I've been a Metheny fan for half of my life, but had never thought of his work as groove oriented (except for the relatively recent commercially-successful release). But, I was wrong. I recently became more attuned to grooves through a playing experience and it opened my ears to hearing grooves better. When I put this album on recently after a long time since I had listened to it, I was amazed. All of a sudden, I hear the groove. Not that this is incredibly funky stuff—I wouldn't go so far as to call Metheny's work funky- but the pocket is there.

2016
Avishai Cohen - trompeta
Yonathan Avishai - pian
Bill McHenry - saxofon tenor
Eric Revis - contrabas
Nasheet Waits - tobe
“Cohen is a multicultural jazz musician, among whose ancestors is Miles Davis. Like Davis, he can make the trumpet a vehicle for uttering the most poignant human cries.”
– Jazz Times
2010
Mathias Eick - trompeta
Andreas Ulvo - pian
Audun Erlien - bas
Torstein Lofthus - tobe
Gard Nilssen - tobe
Morten Qvenild - claviaturi
Tore Brunborg - saxofon tenor
Sidsel Walstad - harpa
A larger lineup and more detailed arrangements while never losing the lyrical path of the soloist the work is consistently revolving around. Textured layers of lyrical inventiveness. Engaging. While the admitted influences of this release range from calssical to pop, it is the brilliant use of these “pop sensibilities” that make “Skala” a sonic delight. [ Brent Logan Black, Digital Jazz News ]
2014
Vijay Iyer - pian
Stephan Crump - contrabas
Marcus Gilmore - tobe
"Though Break Stuff is Vijay Iyer's third appearance on ECM in less than year, it is the debut offering from the longstanding trio on the label. The pianist and composer has been working with bassist Stephen Crump and drummer Marcus Gilmore for more than a decade. They've issued two previous recordings together. Iyer usually works conceptually, and Break Stuff is no exception. In the press release he states that "a break in music is still music: a span of time in which to act. [ AllMusic ]
1974
John Abercrombie - chitara
Jan Hammer - orga, sintetizatoare, pian
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
This evergreen stands tall in the ECM forest. There is no sense of competition, only mutual reveling in a distinctly nuclear sound. One could easily call it fusion, but if anything it is fused with itself, for it has created every element it seeks to combine. Timeless indeed.
Kenny Burrell înregistrase pentru Blue Note de mai puțin de un an când a intrat în studioul lui Rudy Van Gelder Hackensack, New Jersey, în februarie 1957, pentru a treia sesiune ca lider al casei de discuri. Întâlnirea a prezentat stilurile semnăturii chitaristului cu o echipă crack de hard boppers, incluzând Horace Silver la pian, Hank Mobley la saxofon tenor, Doug Watkins la bas și Louis Hayes la tobe. Partea 1 găsește trupa întinzându-se pe o interpretare plină de bucurie a melodiei lui Silver „Nica's Dream”, scrisă pentru baroneasa de jazz Pannonica de Koenigswarter , și a piesei dureroase a lui Burrell „Out for Blood”. Partea 2 oferă mai multe vederi ale blues-ului cu o versiune excelentă a cărții „DB Blues” a lui Lester Young , încheiată cu două versiuni diferite ale „KB Blues” a lui Burrell. Lansat anterior doar pe vinil în Japonia, acest set de balansare primește o nouă strălucire ca parte a seriei Tone Poet
1980
Miroslav Vitous - bas
John Surman - bas clarinet, saxofon sopran si bariton
Kenny Kirkland - pian
Jon Christensen - tobe, percutie
"After two years of playing live together, this quartet under the Czech bassist's name issued its lone recording date for ECM in 1981. With John Surman on soprano and baritone saxophones as well as bass clarinet, Kenny Kirkland on piano, and drummer Jon Christensen, they deliver an often engaged though sometimes ponderous program.
1974
Ralph Towner - chitara clasica, chitara cu 12 corzi, pian
Jan Garbarek - saxofon sopran si tenor, flaut
Eberhard Weber - bas electric, violoncel
Jon Christensen - tobe, percutie
Down Beat: “Solstice inspires through its expressive openness… revealing depth of texture, nuance and meaning.” Perfect Sound Forever: “The LP is not only one of the moodiest ever published by ECM, but by anyone.” Solstice, recorded 1974, belongs to the great early production projects of ECM, with a new band formed in the studio. It’s the first of Towner’s recorded encounters with the European players, and this US-Norwegian-German quartet has a character all its own. Ralph’s synthesis of classical guitar technique and jazz improvisational skills inspires all participants on now-famous tunes including “Nimbus” and “Oceanus”. (Many future associations grew out of this meeting, including the Garbarek/Towner collaboration on Dis, and the integration of Eberhard Weber into the Jan Garbarek Group, and of Jon Christensen into Weber’s Colours band.)
Initially published in September 1975, vinyl is reissued in April 2017 as audiophile pressing taken from the original analog tapes.
2016
Carla Bley - pian
Andy Sheppard - saxofoane
Steve Swallow - bas
Andando el Tiempo features new music of wide emotional compass by Carla Bley, and underlines her originality and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. “Saints Alive!” sets up animated conversations between the participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow’s bass guitar and Andy Sheppard’s soprano sax.
1986
Keith Jarrett - pian
Gary Peacock - bas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
AllMusic: "Once Keith Jarrett gets into a concept, he likes to keep those tapes rolling. This two-disc live outpouring from a Standards Trio gig at Munich's Philharmonic Hall was the biggest offering from this group up to that time (it wouldn't hold that distinction for long) -- and once again, Jarrett treats his brace of pop and jazz standards with unpredictable, often eloquently melodic and structural originality.
To cite a pair of highlights: "Autumn Leaves" always seems to bring out an endless flow of invention from Jarrett, and "The Song Is You" gets off to a rollicking start and maintains a nearly relentless energy level for 17 minutes, closing with a Spanish vamp. Again, the rapport with his onetime jazz-rock associate, drummer Jack DeJohnette, and bassist Gary Peacock is total; DeJohnette's mastery of shifting cymbal patterns while maintaining the pulse acts on the trio like a loose tether made of carbon steel. There is a considerable amount of Jarrett vocalizing, though; sometimes he sounds like a tortured animal. "
1977
Keith Jarrett - pian, saxofon, percutie
Dewey Redman - saxofon tenor, percutie
Charlie Haden - contrabas
Paul Motian - tobe, percutie
The Survivors’ Suite, recorded in 1976, is the crowning achievement of Keith Jarrett’s “American Quartet” with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian, and one of the all-time enduring masterpieces in the ECM catalogue. Melody Maker: “The Survivors’ Suite is a brilliantly organized and full-blooded work which provides the perfect setting for all four talents.
Initially published in January 1977, vinyl is reissued in April 2017 as audiophile pressing taken from the original analog tapes.
