Aggie87 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Aug 4: Surman/Abercrombie/Dress/DeJohnette - Brewster's Rooster I'm looking forward to this one! I'm assuming "Dress" = Drew Gress! Quote

CJ Shearn Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 ooh a new record with Jack. Automatic buy for me. Quote

The Sheppard is nice but not one I think I'll come back to often. The Sclavis is meant to be quite rocky, based on the Odyssey. The Surman looks really interesting - been a while since he's done a quartet date. Hope the Bollani is less dour than his first ECM solo. Quote
king ubu Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 has anyone checked out Trovesi's latest, that opera thingie? looks nice... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 Portal is usually interesting & a hell of a cool guy, so this could be worth picking up. Then again, those "Minneapolis" CDs made my head hurt. Quote
Tom Storer Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 This one sounds interesting: Steve Kuhn Trio with Joe Lovano, Mostly Coltrane Joe Lovano: tenor saxophone and tarogato Steve Kuhn: piano; David Finck: double-bass Joey Baron: drums Release date: July 7, 2009 Quote
WorldB3 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) In addition to the ones Bev mentioned, the following are also coming out: Aug 25: Stefano Bollani - no title yet The Bollani is a trio disc with his Danish rhythm section Jesper Bodilsen-Morten Lund, should be a great one. The Surman/Abercrombie/Dress/DeJohnette, Gismonti and Kuhn also look promising. Updated with info on Bollani trio. Edited June 7, 2009 by WorldB3 Quote

I like the sound of that - there are two excellent earlier discs with this partnership. Quote

GA Russell Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Jun 30: Louis Sclavis - Lost on the Way The Sclavis is meant to be quite rocky, based on the Odyssey. I've been listening to the Louis Sclavis record a number of times for the past week. I would have really liked it in the 70s. It reminds me of that time's European fusion, with a rock beat and electric instruments. I'm not really into that sort of thing now. Maybe my metabolism has slowed down! But if that sort of thing is what you are looking for, it's good. Quote
GA Russell Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 This one sounds interesting: Steve Kuhn Trio with Joe Lovano, Mostly Coltrane Joe Lovano: tenor saxophone and tarogato Steve Kuhn: piano; David Finck: double-bass Joey Baron: drums Release date: July 7, 2009 I got this one today. As the title suggests, most of the songs are ones recorded by Coltrane. I can easily see some of them being played on Sirius, which is very rare for ECM. Like Sonny, for one. Except for Keith Jarrett's albums, this is as mainstream as ECM gets. I like Kuhn. I think the album would have been better if the entire spotlight had been on him, and Joe Lovano (whom I like) weren't on it. Between the occasional promos I receive and listening to Sirius, I haven't heard too much that has excited me in 2009. In other years, this album might not be so popular. But this year, I can see it being a best seller, and getting more than a few votes in the Downbeat Readers Poll for Album of the Year. Quote

But this year, I can see it being a best seller, and getting more than a few votes in the Downbeat Readers Poll for Album of the Year. I can see that. Not sure how it did commercially but Kuhn's Live At Birdland from 2007 was very well received critically and deservingly so. This one is coming out next week and I am thinking about giving it a chance, looks intriguing: After featuring on a dozen albums with Carla Bley for WATT/ECM, Movements In Colour is Andy Sheppard s first leader album for ECM. The British saxophonist heads a specially-assembled international quintet in a program of buoyant and strongly melodic self-penned pieces. Sheppard s elegant saxophone and the strongly-contrasting guitars of Paricelli and Aarset are lifted up by the rhythmic drive of Arild Andersen s muscular bass and the crisp, dynamic tabla of Kuljit Bhamra.
