DIAMOND DUST Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Did anyone notice the scary amount of tallent on this record label.I think it stands with CHESS,BLUE NOTE or any other label.you've got;keith jarrett,pat metheny,abercrombie,terje rypdal,ralph towner and i'm sure i forgot a bunch.I have been trying to collect original records from ecm for a long time but they keep getting more exspensive.Just thought i would bring it up. http://b-cordova.dmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I think ECM's catalog is also available on CD and cassette. I have a copy of Pat Metheny's "Offramp" on cassette. It was released in 1982. Great album, and I think it yielded some hits on jazz radio. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryrobinett Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Yeah I'm just listening to one now. I'm researching the next concert for my band. We do special one time only jazz concerts featuring a theme. This time it's non-american music. So I have about a thousand LPs most I haven't listen to in 15-20 years. I have this OK Eberhard Weber record I'm checking out right now. I don't know whether I ever heard this one. I'm not overly excited. ECM had a certain sound. Manfred Eicher was a little too hands on and controlling regarding the VIBE he wanted for his label. It was successful. Probably more than anything spurred on the new age thing. Perhaps it's unfair because most new age had little to no substance, IMO. Not so ECM. Manfred liked free, unstructured music that didn't swing or otherwise have any kind of groove. But also very well recorded and mixed. Unfortunately it helped define what a lot of us thought of as european jazz. All the best, Henry Robinett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
