Over the past year I've discovered so many great albums released
by ECM Records. I realized at some point that I had overlooked almost
all albums released under the label, even though I was long familiar
with many of the artists who've recorded with them, at least from back
in the 70s/80s. Since then it had been a fruitful and rewarding
experience. At times it feels like it's own genre. It's not always music
I would label as "jazz" as some of the music goes beyond genre labels.
What are your favorites from the label? I think most of us know these albums, these are some of the most popular albums from the label. |

Found it, it was hidden because we had to get rid of the mp3s.

That is why I started this one, but I'll head over to the other thread and see what's going on.

I really like some ECM early releases, when they were most adventurous ever in label's history, like Jan Garbarek Afric Pepperbird 80s and 90s were too much "ambient/new age" period for label as for my taste, in a new Millennium they returned back with some more adventurous works, partially from new NYC avantgarde jazz artists as Tim Berne or Michael Formanek.
