Any ECM Records fans here?

[edorr]

Arvo Part, absolutely!

Good call. Tabula Rasa would be my favorite Part recording on ECM. Is this out of print? I noticed it is listed on amazon for $125.

Still prefer the European quarter over the trio any day of the week.

Quartet or quarter (back)?

Me loves both; trio, and quartet, and even solo (duo).

Yes. I once saw a modern ballet choreographed to this music. Magnificent. Spend many a late night with fratres. This is old stuff. Listened a lot egberto Gismonte in those days. As I mentioned, my new ECM hero is Brahem...

I have may be around a 100 ECM titles, listen to them all the time. I would have to rank Anouar Brahem as my #1 ranked recording artist on ECM, but it is hard to go wrong with anything released on the label.

For a long time Astrakan Cafe was my Brahem favorite. But slowly but firmly the intrinsic beauty of Le Pas du Chat Noir displaced it.

Quartet obviously... Never been a huge fan of Garbarek, but on the quartet he occasionally shines.

They are all beautiful and unique in their own right. First heard him in an oriental furniture store in London "barzakh". Rushed to the counter asked what was playing and have bought everything he released ever since.

Bob,
Do you have the Blue Note sessions? These 1994 trio recordings, carried in three successive nights, are IMHO some of his best.

 

[RogerD]

And who in their right or wrong mind could forget this?

I would have to search Francisco, as I have so many Keith Jarrett recordings. ...This one could even be on one of my CD-Rs.

Carla Bley, I got few but not that one above. ...I should!

________

By the way, also a huge Anouar Brahem and Dhafer Youssef's fan here. * Youssef is on the Enja, Justin Time, Jazzland, ... record labels though.

If you don't know him, you're gonna love Abou Khalil. Less introspective than
Brahem, and heavy on percussion, but fantastic stuff. Pick up a copy of 'blue camel' first.

Rabih, of course.

I have quite a bit of Abou-Khalil's stuff; I almost don't consider it "Middle Eastern", certainly not in the same sense as Brahem. It often sounds just like hard bop with one of the instruments being the oud.
