		This was also Hancock's last gig as Davis's pianist, as he left afterwards for a honeymoon in Brazil and was replaced by Chick Corea when he couldn't return for an engagement due to illness.
		Holland's first recordings with Davis were in September 1968, for half of the album Filles de Kilimanjaro (with Davis, Corea, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams).
		All three of his studio recordings with Davis were instrumental in the evolution of jazz fusion.

	Articles - ECM (record label) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		ECM (Editions of Contemporary Music) is a record label founded in Munich, Germany in 1969 by Manfred Eicher, who has continued to take an active interest in the music released by the label, acting as producer on most of its recordings.
		ECM is best known for jazz music, but has released a wide variety of recordings, the artists associated with it often refusing to acknowledge boundaries between genres.
		ECM initially concentrated on jazz, releasing records by artists including pianists Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and Paul Bley; saxophonist Jan Garbarek, vibraphone player Gary Burton; drummers Jon Christensen and Paul Motian; guitarists Pat Metheny, John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner and Terje Rypdal; bassists Eberhard Weber, Charlie Haden and Dave Holland; and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

	Eberhard Weber: Selected Recordings: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Most of his major work came out on ECM, aside from one stint in pop music-- a few appearances with Kate Bush, who used Weber's distinct tone most notably on "Houdini." Nowadays, he tours with Jan Garbarek's group and has only cut two albums of his own in the last decade, most recently in 2001.
		One of ECM's earliest classics, Chloe still sounds unprecedented; the only albums I could compare it to are some of the dreamier fusion and prog music of the time from maybe Soft Machine, and its most childlike moments might appeal to fans of Boards of Canada.
		ECM has been typecast as gorgeous but complacent, and it's sometimes called the father of new age because it let slip all the tension and conflict that new age dispensed with entirely.

	Rarum, Vol. 9: Selected Recordings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		ECM was my favourite record label in the 1970s, and Pat Metheny my favourite artist on that label (until his shock departure to Geffen), so this greatest-hits compilation is an important album for me, particularly as Pat selected the tracks himself.
		I've owned his ECM records for many a year -- some in both LP and CD formats -- so I wasn't expecting anything more than a new, remastered light to be shone on old treasures.
		Guitarist Pat Metheny's compilation for ECM Records "Rarum: Selected Recordings" series is an exquisite collection of his first ten years as a solo artist (1975-1985).

	::--Subvertainment: EOIPSO--::
		ECM, an acronym that stands for "Edition of Contemporary Music", is the intellectual baby of Manfred Eicher (born in 1943), who formed the label in Munich way back in 1969.
		Most of the recordings are produced by Manfred Eicher himself whilst sonic aesthete Jan-Erik Kongshaug handles recording and mixing duties in his Oslo-based Rainbow Studios.
		Each recording is regarded as a closed concept in sound and artwork, and Eicher perfectly well knows how to mix and regroup the musicians on his label, hence creating different ensembles and stylistic mixes.

	ECM Records at 35 - The Marriage of Sound and Silence
		ECM appeared at a time when the United States was setting all the trends in the jazz recording business.
		ECM’s producer sensed that a record was not only an object to be listened to, but one to look at as well.
		Whatever the controversy, one thing is for sure: ECM has produced a considerable sum of music in the last half of the 20 century, and will continue to do so for years to come.

		His four ECM recordings as the lead voice of drummer Peter Erskine's fine trio have been as close as we've gotten to a trio date from the British pianist, at least for ECM.
		He recorded it in duo with Gary Peacock for ECM ten years ago and again with vocalist Maria Pia DeVito and Taylor himself on DeVito's Verso.

	Pat Metheny: Rarum IX, Selected Recordings - PopMatters Music Review
		ECM has decided to get the goods straight from the horse's mouth in the case of jazz guitarist Pat Metheny.
		Recorded after a three-month trek in Europe during 1978, the song sounds as if Metheny wants to go back to the States on a train as quickly as possible.
		The live recording from Philadelphia in 1982 is at times cinematic, but also a tad cheesy at others.

		The other was German producer Manfred Eicher, whose early ECM recordings with Norwegian engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug in Oslo did so much to alert the wider world to the quality of not just Norwegian contemporary jazz, but Nordic jazz as a whole.
		While his death leaves a great gap in Norwegian music, the pianist was able to make two last recordings that are eloquent testimony to the complete integrity of vision that he sustained throughout his life as a working musician.

	Norsk Musikkinformasjon: ECM - ambassadors of Norwegian jazz
		Now there is a chance to catch up with the ongoing love-affair between ECM and Norwegian jazz: The :rarum series, a project which gave many prominent ECM musicians the possibility to select their own favourite recordings for release.
		The most important distinction from the first series was that ECM musicians that have never made a record as a leader also were given the possibility to take part in the project.
		All records in the two :rarum series have been digitally remastered, and further releases are in the planning.

	Morimur by Christoph Poppen at jsbach.org
		A beautiful recording based on research of Professor Helga Thoene which theorizes that verses of hidden chorales exist in the Ciaccona from Partita BWV 1004.
		This recording by Poppen and Hilliard alternates between solo violin and the chorales and ends with a beautiful performance of the Ciaccona on violin accompanied by the voices singing the chorale melodies.
		However, this is not the first recording based on the theory: the 1998 Glossa release "De Occulta Philosophia" by Jose Miguel Moreno (lute) and Emma Kirkby (soprano) & Carlos Mena (countertenor) takes a different, but also lovely, approach.

	Stereophile: Recording of September 2000: The Water is Wide
		Charles Lloyd has made seven recordings for ECM since 1989, and they constitute one of the abiding bodies of work in late-20th-century jazz.
		It is surprising that the two most recent of these recordings, Voice in the Night (1999) and now The Water is Wide, are the strongest of the seven, and yet each introduces new personnel.
		It is surprising because the quartet that made the first five ECM albums, featuring the great Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson and drummer Billy Hart, was one of the finest small jazz ensembles of its era, and its achievements were collective.

	Steve Tibbetts: Exploded View (ECM)
		Recording in his home studio, Tibbetts gets an astounding clarity of sound that is well served by this CD.
		If primitive man had invented the electric guitar and multi-track recording before the wheel, he might have made an album much like this one.
		The album is vividly articulate in its evocation of natural phenomena and spiritual aura (the bull elephant roar of Tibbetts' screaming fuzz guitar; the eerie mix of gentle acoustic plucking, a galloping tabla drum and a strangely treated tape of Nepalese monks chanting in the distance on "Another Year").

	ESTONIAN PHILHARMONIC CHAMBER CHOIR
		For Carus the EPCC and Tallinn chamber Orchestra recorded 2 CD-s of Mozart in 2000 (Litaniae and Vesperae et Litania), and 2 CD-s of Vivaldi.
		This recording offers the more clear, open-voiced Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir in a kind of survey that describes the style of Orthodox music, but also places it in context, both regarding its baroque Italian influences and in terms of its traditional place in the church service.
		The sound, recorded in a Tallinn church, takes on a bit of a glare in louder sections, especially where sopranos are in higher registers; otherwise, it's just about perfect.

		ECM, or Edition of Contemporary Music, is a label that is more or less synonymous with the maverick Munich-based producer Manfred Eicher, who made his reputation in jazz, recording Keith Jarrett, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Chick Corea, and other progressive beacons.
		Of the nine other ECM disks, it might be said that if you love one you will probably love them all.
		Paul Hillier, who obtains an intensely moving performance from the Hilliard Ensemble on this recording, makes a striking observation in his book about the composer, "Arvo Pärt" (Oxford, 1997): the music representing Pontius Pilate wavers constantly between two opposing keys, and underlying this ambivalence is the tritone, the Devil's interval.

		It’s interesting to note that ECM records is a European jazz label, but one whose catalog of artists and albums is held in high regard by jazz fans.
		For some ECM is a label of aesthetics—its jazz is decidedly sterile to some, organic and ambient to others, and has been characterized as a kind of “chamber jazz” label.
		However, the ECM years are fundamental to his career—illustrating the knowledge, education, and growth that makes each album both something else and something familiar—linear at times, but also out of left field at others.

	Splendid: Departments: File Under ?
		As such, it is understandable that a new best-of series by ECM recordings, entitled :rarum, might strike us, at first, as a business-as-usual manoeuvre.
		You might wonder how ECM, with artists who range from having "avant-garde" to "new age" style tags, those banes of the record bin existence, maintains a singular reputation as a label, given its catholic tastes.
		Another is the tasteful visual presentation common to all releases; subdued colors and attractively muted designs appear on the CD booklets and record jackets, but the fl and white photos within very often capture the essence and energy of the recording artists.

		ECM records were also known for their excellent fidelity.
		If you’ve never been exposed to ECMs jazz recordings, I highly recommend this album as an introduction to the style of music that the ECM label featured throughout the 70s and 80s.

	Ralph Towner Discography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Towner’s working relationship with producer Manfred Eicher of ECM Records began in 1972 and would provide a forum for his growth as a leader and collaborator with other jazz giants, all while concomitantly breaking open musical frontiers with Oregon throughout the intervening years.
		ECM’s roster of low-volume acts was decidedly contrary to the amplified popular zeitgeist of the era, and provided Towner an opportunity to connect and create with some of the more iconoclastic and innovative artists of the musical culture in the 1970s.
		Like any true artist, however, experimentation with technology was simultaneously and paradoxically leading Towner away from this bare-bones approach to composition and performance in 1983 when he began to incorporate the Prophet 5 keyboard synthesizer into his compositions, both with Oregon and his ECM recordings.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GI-GO
		Aside from his work with Glass Harp, the Phil Keaggy recordings most of most interest to progressive rockers are his instrumental albums: The Master and the Musician (1978, which features an appearance by Yezda Urfa's Phil Kimbrough); The Wind and the Wheat (1987), and 220 (1996).
		Recorded during various live dates in their native Finland, it's even darker than their debut (if you can imagine that), and has an "evil" vibe that can rival the most Satan-loving fl metal band.
		This record should appeal particularly to fans of so-called RIO music and, in fact, would be an excellent place to get one's toes wet in that sometimes thorny genre.

		Texas Early Music Project is a non-profit music ensemble dedicated to preserving and advancing the art of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical music through performance, recordings, and educational outreach.
		Classical music written during the Renaissance period, approximately 1450 to 1600 A.D. It is characterized by the introduction of the interval of the third into European art music (in the Middle Ages, thirds had been considered dissonances: see interval), and the continued development of polyphony (Greek: many-voices).
		Masses, motets and other liturgical music was composed for churches; aristocrats and rich bourgeois sang, played and were entertained by secular songs for many voices or consort music for recorder or viol da gamba.

		In 1969 Manfred Eicher, in the process of establishing ECM Records, invited Garbarek to record for his new label.
		This was the start of a exceptional relationship between Garbarek and ECM which continues to this day.
		In 1998, five years after the recording of "Officium", the Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek returned to the monastery of St Gerold to renew, in the words of singer John Potter, their "encounter with the unknown." The result was a very beautiful double album, Mnemosyne.
