Looking forward to this one, due any days now.

I'd like to hear more guitar on ECM!

Steve Reich - Sextet, Four Sections

from Steve Reich: Works 1965–1995 (Nonesuch)

I’ve owned this for years, lately I’ve been digging in.

Don't have The New Quartet on CD. Have you heard it on vinyl ? If not, you have a real treat ahead of you. This was Gary's 1st recording on ECM, and one of my favorite albums of his to this day. It's available as a used CD on Amazon dot com, and elsewhere as a lossless digital download, if you're i...

Don't have The New Quartet on CD.

Gary Burton: Seven Songs For Quartet And Chamber Orchestra

I also want this. Under recorded Mick Goodrick is on it.

Looking forward to getting CDs of Five Years Later & Contrasts.

...and that Abercrombie Qt box too.

ECM jazz (etc) to come in the next few months: ...Ralph Towner introduces new guitar trio with Wolfgang Muthspiel and Slava Grigoryan (“Travel Guide”)... It's now out (ECM 2310); see the review from DownBeat posted in JT's Record Reviews forum. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/...

the ECM thing completely died weeks ago, but I try to check in.

Herbie.

Thanks for the reviews, too bad I can't make any shows these days. Short on funds, short on time. I would have been grateful to make any of the Evan Parker concerts.

Thanks for that overview, David. Since Gary has played such an integral part in my musical life, I need to get my copy. Anyone who hasn't heard Gary's debut album, Jazz Winds From A New Direction , should get this CD, pronto! It's a much less expensive Hank Garland compilation album. http://ecx.ima...

It's back now.

Hariprasad Charuasia is a favorite.

mandatory attendance.

looking forward to this one.

I haven't seen anything yet.

I love that Anja Garbarek album. I like her voice.

That's something I checked out every day. If the AAJ forums are gone, so is a lot of interesting nuts and bolts music discussion.

Sad.

When someone is improvising, I hear a story...in a composition, I hear a painting.






Or vice versa.

I had problems hearing Oscar Noriega play his clarinet. Seems like the drummer could have been a bit more considerate of others.

I liked that Wayne Shorter set....and Mary Halvorson and Jim Hall too.





there's still more to check out.

Ches Smith was really loud when I heard Snakeoil play at Greenwich Music School last year. ECM keeps the drums down in the mix.

Thanks for the heads up.

Quite happy with the new Lucian Ban and Mat Maneri – Transylvanian Concert, although I'm still digesting it.

Planning on getting the new Stefano Scodanibbio, Reinventions soon.
