Description
[Machine Translation] [ECM in the 21st Century] 2024 is the 55th anniversary 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 the ongoing ECM with a focus on artists who are currently active at the forefront of the field. Saxophonist Chris Potter, one of the key figures in the contemporary jazz scene, has painstakingly created the second ECM Reader, a perfect fusion of jazz and orchestral sound. With members of the underground quartet Adam Rogers, Craig Tayborne, and Nate Smith, two bassists, a string quartet, and Steve Nelson (vibes, marimba), who has been with the Dave Holland Quintet since the days of the quartet, this is the second release from the ECM leader, a perfect fusion of jazz and orchestral sounds that Chris Potter has struggled to achieve. The panoramic suite unfolds as a larger ensemble. The work's breadth, contrasting moods and thematic developments inspire Potter's playing, and his saxophone soars even higher above the idealized city. Dialogue and group improvisation with the talented residents further broaden the worldview. Chris Potter ( ts, ss, b-cl ), Adam Rogers ( g ), Craig Tayborne ( p ), Steve Nelson ( vibes,marimba ), Fima Efron ( b ), Scott Corey ( double-b ), Nate Smith ( ds ), Mark Feldman ( vln ), Joyce Hamann ( vln ), Louis Martin ( vla ), David Egger ( cello ) Recorded December 2013 at Avatar Studios, New York
