Billy Hart Quartet
One Is the Other [ ECM Records / CD - released 2/May/2014 ] The second ECM album by the Billy Hart Quartet is a major musical statement, and one of the outstanding jazz albums of the season.

Paul Bley / Gary Peacock / Paul Motian
Not Two, Not One [ ECM / CD - released 19/Dec/2008 ] Bassist Gary Peacock pulled together this reunion of a classic edition of the Paul Bley Trio.

Bobo Stenson Trio
Contra la indecision [ ECM / CD - released 19/Jan/2018 ] The great Swedish trio of Bobo Stenson takes a stand against indecision in a decisively beautiful new album.

Bobo Stenson Trio
Serenity [ ECM / 2 CD - released 26/Jun/2000 ] The topography of Serenity is as varied as that of life, speaking to and from the heart of what this outfit is capable of. This record is first and foremost about clarity, second about a distant storm whose image is its soundtrack. In balancing these... |

War Orphans [ ECM Records / CD ] Recorded May 1997 |
Bobo Stensontrio
Indicum [ ECM / CD - released 7/Dec/2012 ] The anticipation of a new Bobo Stenson Trio release may be too much to bear, but the release of one is too much to ignore. This seventh album for ECM finds the Trio in new rags and old. Bill Evans's "Your Story" was a favorite of Paul Motian, to whom... |

MEREDITH MONK
Piano Songs Bruce Brubaker / Ursula Oppens [ ECM New Series / CD - released 2/May/2014 ] Celebrating Meredith Monk as composer, these Piano Songs give us a world at once playful and serious.

Camerata Bern / London Voices / Heinz Holliger : oboe and conductor
Veress, Sandor - Passacaglia Concertante / Songs Of The Seasons / Musica Concertante [ ECM Records / CD ] The three works by Sándor Veress played here show the breadth of the range he acquired over the years and also the stylistic unity of his music, its unmistakable tone, firm and astringent but at the same time melancholy and lyrical. |
Carla Bley
4 X 4 [ ECM / CD - released 30/Oct/2000 ] "4x4" is the title of Carla Bley's new album and also the name of her new octet. It's a stripped-down version of her Big Band. Carla's cast off three trumpets, three trombones and three reeds, but there is no loss of power. On the contrary, like... |
