Description
[Machine Translation] [ECM in the 21st Century] 2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the founding of ECM! ECM ("Edition of Contemporary Music"), one of Europe's leading jazz labels, was founded in Munich, Germany in 1969 by Manfred Eicher, a charismatic producer of rare talent. The founding concept of the label was "the next most beautiful music after silence. The label has attracted many fans around the world with its transparent sound, clear sound quality, and sophisticated and beautiful jacket design, which are distinctively different from other labels. The label has produced many jazz classics, including Keith Jarrett's "The Cologne Concert" (1975), Chick Corea's "Return to Forever" (1972), and Pat Metheny's "Bright Size Life" (1976). In 1984, he broadened his genre of music to include classical music. In 2023, at the age of 80, Eicher will continue to record more than 20 new works a year, making him one of the most active composers in the pursuit of music. In conjunction with the release of the new ECM Revisits series to commemorate the 55th anniversary of ECM, the label is releasing an encore pressing of its ECM in the 21st Century series, originally released in 2022. This series introduces ongoing ECM with a focus on artists who are currently active at the forefront of the field. This is the second ECM release in 2011 by Matthias Eijk, a Norwegian trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist who takes jazz to a new level, encompassing pop, rock, electronica, and a variety of other musical sensibilities. The trumpet takes center stage on this album, which is composed of his own compositions that appeal to listeners beyond "jazz." Backed by a sophisticated and modern band of two drummers, he delivers a monologue filled with rich lyricism. [The band consists of Matthias Eick ( tp, vibes, el-g, double-b ), Andreas Urvo ( p ), Audun Erien ( el-b ), Torstein Lofthus ( ds ), Gaal Nilsen ( ds ), Motten Kvenil ( key ), Torre Brunborg (ts), Sisel Walstad (harp) Recorded at Cabin Recorders, Bugge's Room, Pooka Studios, Oslo, December 2009, January 2010
