danasgoodstuff Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm on record here regarding my ambivalence towards all things ECM, BUT make no mistake, Conference of the Birds is fine music by any standard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Arild Andersen 3 CD - includes Clouds in My Head, Shimri, Green Shading into Blue Don't ever recall seeing these on CD. I look forward to the set as I've never heard them. The Weber box is made up of three wonderful albums - shimmery, minimalist-influenced (though not dominated) music that takes the route from In a Silent Way that Miles didn't. The two Old and New Dreams were my introduction to Ornette Coleman in the late 70s/early 80s. Kenny Wheeler's 'The Widow in the Window' is one of his best two - contemporary with 'Music for Large and Small Ensembles.' Lots of other great records there too, if you're attune to the ECM approach. Could Lookout Farm be somewhere down the line?

sidewinder Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Julian Priester Ensemble, Love Love Great album though this is, I'm curious as to why they are reissuing this one again and not the equally fine 'Polarization'?

king ubu Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 The Weber box is out here already. Also the Burton/Corea duo box (4CDs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Except I would add the Old and New Dreams reissues to that Conference of the Birds album. Fine music, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 It is very good to see Jack DeJohnette's "Inflation Blues" on CD at last. That is one to join the Old and New Dreams and Dave Holland CDs in the "better than the usual ECM" category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd describe them as 'more Americanised than usual' (which is not a criticism) rather than 'better than usual'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 John Abercrombie Trio, Speak of the Devil That's nice, but it would be nicer if they released something that never came out on CD like this: Ralph Towner & John Abercrombie, Five Years Later Now that's a good move, how about Arcade, M and Quartet? Arcade came out as a pricey Japanese import, but it may not even be in print now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldB3 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the heads up, a lot of these I have never even heard of or have been looking forward to tracking down for a long time like the Goodrick and Waldron.

But I'd describe them as 'more Americanised than usual' (which is not a criticism) rather than 'better than usual'. Actually, I think that Inflation Blues is better than the usual run of ECM albums, by either American or European artists. I do not mean to slight the European artists on ECM, many of whom I like.

David Ayers Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I get confused as to which ECMs have already been issued on CD and which are new reissues. To the extent that I want them at all it quite matters to me since older digital issues and reissues from ECM have been of poor sonic quality, in my opinion, and I don't want them. I might in some few cases be lured by more recent remasterings but there seems no way to know what you are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't agree with them and that is why I wish I knew the dates of the digital transfers of analogue material. Obviously with DDD material the recording date tells the story.

ghost of miles Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Mal Waldron's FREE AT LAST is the very first album that ECM ever released--been wanting to hear it for a long time.

IIRC they did remaster those "Rarum" compilations from a few years ago. Might be a way for David to sample an artist's ECM tracks in remastered form.
