From Sunny ☀️ California
Fabrice.👍😄
Grand merci pour ces découvertes, à suivre 👍
I have been following Terje Rypdal since 1970 or 71. His music never gets old for me.
Anything ECM puts out is worth a listen... Tribute to Lester is so great.
Agreed!! I eagerly turn on any of their releases.
Love ECM and found it interesting to see what your favourites are cause there were quite a few there that I haven't heard yet and will check them out.
I'm now in the process of streaming all the ECM albums in Chronological order, started with the first in 1970 and I'm now up to 75 and have found quite a few new masterpieces that I really love.
My Ten so far would be.
1 - Keith Jarret - Köln Concert
2 - Keith Jarret - Changeless.
3 - Chick Corea - Piano Improvisation vol 1.
4 - Chick Corea - Return To Forever.
5 - Zakir Hussain - Making Music.
6 - Shankar - Vision.
7 - Charlie Haden - Ballad of the Fallen.
8 - Art Ensemble of Chicago - Full Force.
9 - Andras Schiff - Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Clavier.
10 - Pat Metheny - First Circle.
Wow! Terrific list! Saved all these, so excited to check em out!
Keith Jarrett’s album “My Song” is the best of all time.
PMG "Offramp" (coming soon to MoFi-OneStep, or A.S. UHQR, I'll request).
I have and like ALL ECM albums
Thanks for making the video. It reminded me of the awakening in mid-80's when ECM found me. A new world, and different from everything else. Not like american aggressive jazz, and even without rhythm ( ha-ha ), since they played so freely ... And it gives a picture of the strenght in the music, and the common experience young music-nerds make all over the world. Your list gave some new name's to check out. Here is my top ECM- list from those years - 1.Terje Rypdal Trio " Chaser ", 2. Keith Jarrett trio "Standards Vol.2" , 3. Zakir Hussain " Making Music ", 4. Masqualero "Bande apart ", 5. Ralph Thowner " Solstice ", 6. Marc Johnson "Bass Desires " , 7.Jan Garbarek "Afric Pepperbird", 8. Anouar Brahem " Conte De L'incroya......", 9. Jarrett/Garbarek "Belonging", 10. Paul Motian "Time and time again", 11.Kenny Wheeler "The widow in the window", 12.Pat Metheny "Rejoicing", 13.Old and new dreams "Old and new dreams" , 14.Charlie Haden "The ballad of the fallen", 15. Pat Metheny "80/81", 16.Chick Corea "Trio music", 17. John Abercrombie "Gateway", 18. Marylin Crispell "Nothing ever was...", 19.Keith Jarrett "Spirits", 20. Vijay Iyer "Break Stuff". And many more. Fantastic music all these.
thank you. love some of these and will look for the others
If I am correct the first album to be released by ECM was Ralph Towner entitled SOLO CONCERT. Afine debut album by an American artist composer at the start of his career. Recorded live in Germany, a superb recording. HIGHLY Recommended.
ECM isn’t for everyone but it’s my favorite label. Alright I’m obsessed with the label but only have a few of the later artist such as Shai Maestro and a couple others but plan to go after more. My focus right now has been getting the earlier stuff on vinyl. I did enjoy your video tho. Thanks for sharing your ECM likes.
Very interesting .Your collection looks awesome .
Thank you! I’m about to start watching yours!
@@MattScutchfield thanks 🙏
Really loved this one Matt! What a wonderful Lise too! Please do more of these!!
That means so much, thanks!! A future edition might have to include you though 😉
I give my highest recommendation to My Foolish Heart by Ralph Towner
Well, given the opportunity, even a little late, I can only suggest Zakir Hussain's Making Music.
Well, I don't really mean only...
Ralph Towner/John Abercrombie: Sargasso Sea.
Eleni Karaindrou: Dust of Time - Music for the film by Theo Angelopoulos
Yes! Sargasso Sea! That's a keeper from my high school days. Back then, I once told an aging hippie that Ralph Towner was one of my favorite guitar players and he replied, 'You're into Towner?!' He was stunned!
@@mikelord9860 I am an ageing hippie...
Great list! I would also recommend Valentin Silvestrov "sacred songs"
Like you correctly said, nothing is permanent since ''EVERY THING PASSES BUT GOD , WHO IS ETERNAL; THUS WHOEVER HAS GOD HAS EVERYTHING...'', so said the mystic and saint Teresa de Avila.
Love Victoria and Josquin music too, by the way... Do Shema!!!.
Cycles by David Darling is an archetype of what ECM is. Recommended !!
Very interesting! Gonna have to check all of this out. Just discovered your channel. Subbed! Looking forward to seeing more👊🏻
ECM is a gold mine of beautiful sounds.Found ecm in1974 still listening today My go too album is Survivors suite by Keith Jarrett
No Keith Jarrett ?
Many, many favourites on the ECM label but the artist whose music motivated me to take up saxophone is JOHN SURMAN (listen to "Stranger than fiction" or "a biography of the rev. Absalom Dawe")
I love John Surman!
Great video. Thank you!
Seriously good content. Please do more ECM videos!
Thank you SO much, that means a lot, and encourages me to keep going! Well, not sure how much more I can say about ECM, but I did get a lot of feedback that I didn't focus enough on the early releases - which is true, because I'm most familiar with the recent years, so, maybe the next video will be my favorite albums from the early years of ECM :)
Great choices my favorite album in the ECM records register is "barzakh" by anouar brahem a materpiece, joy to hear.The album as a sum transmit a certain melancholy that i haven't heard such elsewhere .
see that you give" wolfert bredrode quartet - currents " a try .
Evan Parker-Towards The Margins, and Jan Garbarek-Twelve Moons are 2 of my favorites!
Barre Phillips - Mountainscapes
Great video!
Awesome video!!!
My favorite ECM release is the Dave Holland Quartet's Conference of the Birds.
Thanks for these recommendations. From my side I would have included something by Eberhard Weber, one of Keith Jarrett’s solo concerts like Paris Concert, Pat Metheny’s Bright Size Life and 80/81, Charlie Haden’s The Ballad of the Fallen, Marc Johnson’s Bass Desires, Andras Schiff’s Beethoven Sonatas, Charles Lloyd’s The Water is Wide and Hyperion with Higgins, Anja Lechner/François Coutourier’s Momou: Moderato Cantabile.
Yes, I was hoping he would have touched on KJ's The Koln Concert album. I've owned it on every platform - LP, cassette, CD, MP3, all that.
Officium was my introduction to both Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensembleas well. An odd listen for me at fist, but this seemingly unnatural pairing grew on me, and it makes for a very rewarding experience.
Pat Metheny Offramp is my favorite. I believe it's ECM's biggest seller.
This is good but it’s all modern stuff. You should have a list of older standard ECM 70s?
I only have about 10 ECM albums but Nordan by Lena Willemark & Ale Moller is one of my all-time favorite albums, I'm also very fond of Shankar's Pancha Nadai Pallavi and Rosensfole by Agnes Bues Garnas & Jan Garbarek.
I am an ECM fan and struggling to get the CDs. Please help me to get Matthias Eick and Oded Tzur.
Litania by Stańko. Making music by Zakir Hussain. All by Hilliard Ensemble.
You need to go back in time to find the real top 10 releases that are the strength and legacy of the catalogue
Thank you for sharing, but I desagree because I'm a lover of the jazz side of the label
Great video but you could smarten up a bit when you appear in your videos- you weren’t even wearing a blazer jacket. Tsk.
