Release date February 14: For Lullaby, Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick draws on the quartet formation in a program that includes some of his most exploratory and improvisatory qualities to date, with a cast of ECM familiars Kristjan Randalu and Ole Morten V?gan on piano and bass, and new arrival Hans Hulb?kmo on drums. There's a sense of abandon within these deeply melodic songs, as the musicians flow smoothly between harmonies, collectively building momentum from within the forms. Eick's immediately recognizable and soothing tone is often confronted by Randalu's in turns lyrical and energetic keyboard flights, soaring above a propulsive, always engaging rhythm section. The album was recorded at Rainbow Studio in Oslo. Release date March 28: After twenty years of playing together, the Billy Hart Quartet - with Mark Turner, Ethan Iverson and Ben Street - is distinguished by its stylistic openness. A drummer of enormous experience, who has played through many of jazz's idiomatic upheavals, Hart, now 83, advocates a `multi-directional' sound approach, and his younger confreres respond accordingly, each piece subtly opening another door. The new album, Just, was recorded in New York's Sound On Sound Studios in December 2021. Release date February 14: Soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen's debut for ECM captures him charting innovative paths through eight originals in graceful interplay with his freshly formed quartet. Pianist Tom Oren, bassist Alon Near and drummer Alon Benjamini are longtime acquaintances of Yuval's who are not only outstanding instrumentalists themselves, but share a deep, intuitive understanding for the leader's musical language and improvisational approach. "I'm very fortunate to be able to play with these young guys," says Yuval. "I've known them for a long time - they're three beautiful souls and talents with whom I had a great time shaping this music together." Throughout the album, Cohen demonstrates his understanding of chamber jazz dynamics and explores a broad range of influences to lyrical and contemplative, but also energetic and uplifting results. Release date February 28: Julia Hülsmann's Quartet resurfaces with a fresh Norwegian voice on horn in tow and presents an attractive batch of originals that finds the group thoughtfully exploring common ground with a knack for adventure. As on past outings, each quartet member contributes music to the session, the leader herself being responsible for half the program. Saxophonist Uli Kempendorff's introduction to Julia's trio on 2019's Not Far From Here already brought a new dimension to the group's interplay. This sense is again amplified and expanded upon through the addition of Norwegian trumpeter Hildegunn Oiseth. Spellbinding lyricism and playful rhythmic and melodic interaction conspire throughout Under The Surface, a gem in Julia Hülsmann's increasingly impressive ECM oeuvre.

Same here, for about a day. Used Safari, using it now.

Very sad. I loved Soft Machine, all their Columbia albums. He had a great nasty sound on organ. R.I.P.

I never focused on Lucas. Next time, I'll listen for him.

I remember when Agharta came out. It was like the fifth consecutive 2-LP set from Miles; such an odd release pattern. It was hard to tell which ones Miles was committed to, and which ones were Teo & Columbia trying to make back their money (though the economics of releasing cheap 2-LP sets seemed to defeat that purpose). I really really loved Get Up With It, and loved the groove and bite established by Agharta. Pete Cosey was it!
