Wow! My collection is much shorter, but I see some of my recent favorites, including Taborn’s “Chants,”, Iyer’s “Break Stuff,” Vallon’s “Danse,” and Parks’s “Find the Way.” I’ve been lucky to hear Taborn, Iyer, and Parks live playing some of the music on those albums.

We have similar appetites: got them all (and then some) from about 1300 upwards. I guess I started later – still working my way back to 80’s and 70’s.

Let’s do a piano trio thread. :slight_smile:

Yes, I’m in a similar boat to @RBM.
Although I also love unconventional piano trio settings, like Shifting Grace by Crispell, Rabbia and Courtois, piano, percussion and cello. Not on ECM, but there are some there too, I’ll look when I return from my travels.

I think a piano trio thread would be great.

I have not explored ECM yet… are there any artists that cross over lables and are on Tidal too, or alternatively, do you have any non-ECM artists that evoke the ECM sound and vibe? I would learn a lot from a Piano Trio thread!

Here are some favorite living artists that I’e heard live and have recorded on both on ECM and other labels.

piano: Vijay Iyer, Jason Moran, Craig Taborn, David Virelles
sax: Chris Potter, Charles Lloyd, Mark Turner, Steve Lehman
trumpet: Wadada Leo Smith, Avishai Cohen
bass: Dave Holland, Larry Grenadier, Reuben Rogers
drums: Brian Blade, Eric Harland, Tyshawn Sorey, Billy Hart
guitar: Bill Frisell

I don’t have Tidal, but I recommend you have a look in Bandcamp, where you can find great music at low prices from independent jazz labels like Pi Recordings, Intakt, and Cuneiform. Of course you cannot detach the ECM sound from Manfred Eicher’s production choices, from music selection to actual recording, so hearing the above live or on their non-ECM projects does not exactly get you what ECM does, but they are all great musicians anyway.

Thanks, that’s what I had in mind. I’ll be sampling some ECM based on the four favorite albums thread, probably with HDtracks.

Appreciate the recommendations above!

When we talk abot ECM SACD - this is probably the only “native” ECM SACD; Do you know more?

SACD format.
I must look through my ECM and DSD libraries, but there are more.

In case you missed it:

ECM will be available on more or less all streaming services end of 11/2017.
Apple, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal and Qobuz.
I might have forgotten some…

So much for the relative “exclusivity” of my collection!:wink: Oh well, perhaps Tidal and/or ECM will do the same as Spotify, which suddenly without warning removed entire albums (e.g. Neil Young) shortly after I added them. As long as (some) streaming services (sometimes) do this, they’re not reliable enough for me, which is why this old dinosaur still sticks with his cd’s…:smirk: Of course, it does provide an interesting opportunity to discover new albums to purchase!

24bit ECM streaming in Qobuz as of today!:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Qobuz app now lets you connect to Bubble UPnP.
That way you can stream via Sonore products from the Qobuz app to your DAC in real High def.
I enjoy that a lot.

PS.: Qobuz has fantastic ECM Playlists!

Thanks again for these, now I am exploring them and other ECM on Tidal!

Got a mail from ECM about streaming, and it includes links to articles in the New York Times, the New Yorker and Pitchfork.

In addition to commentary, each includes recommended albums. As a card-carrying ECM fan since its start, I’m astounded at the number of recommendations that I haven’t heard, or in some cases have grown disenchanted with. And of course, many favorites.

In any case, much to explore and enjoy.

Love this man. Hums like Glenn Gould and is so… musical.

ECM is having a sale this weekend with 25% discount their entire catalog. This is a promotion of their new “My Music” service which creates an online digital library of the music you purchase directly from them.

I tried purchasing an item but couldn’t get it to work. Not sure if there is some restriction for USA.
