dwbasement Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Hi, not sure if this topic has been started if not here it is, I am sure there are heaps of ECM fans here and would be good to share some of your favourites. I will start with one of Keith's best solo concerts, this is a 10lps box set, hours of amazing music. Cheers Dennis Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edited March 27, 2015 by dwbasement 4
Soundscape Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Where do I start? I am new to this stuff, but a few I have enjoyed lately are Ralph Towner & some Oregon, John Surman, Egberto Gismonti, Charles Lloyd, Anouar Brahem, Kayhan Kalhor, Vassilis Tsabropolous, Alexander Knaifel & Arvo Paert. I have the original vinyl pressings of Jarrett's "Concerts" series. It is such a timeless label..... 4

Soundscape Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Yes, and Koln edit, the box is signed on the back "Oren Ambarchi 6/5/86". I must have bought it from him in the redeye secondhand store over twenty years ago. Edited March 27, 2015 by rehabit@ 2
RankStranger Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I have Koln on vinyl. A bit of surface noise but holy crap it sounds good. Also Hymns/Spheres which is just Jarrett and a massive pipe organ. He gets some wild sounds out of it.
dwbasement Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 I have the original "concerts" and the new 180g of Koln plus a few of his other ones on CDs and original vinyl too, great music. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Soundscape Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I agree. Great music, but I find Keith's grunts and moans a bit off-putting at times
dwbasement Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Haha, I know it's a bit too much sometimes but I am ok with that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1

hired goon Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I will start with one of Keith's best solo concerts, this is a 10lps box set, hours of amazing music. I have Koln (2LP), Concerts (3LP) and Sun Bear (10LP). Also got La Scala, Paris, Vienna, Rio, and Radiance on CD, but the first three are me faves. --Geoff 1
mikey d Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 My fave Jarrett is The Survivors Suite with his American quartet. Haden, Dewey Redmond & Paul Motion.Incredible band & sublime composition.

dwbasement Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Bought this about a year ago, finally opened and have a listen, one of the best viola players. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
analog brother Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 what timing. am listening to aaron parks - 'arborescence', at the moment. 1
dwbasement Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 what timing. am listening to aaron parks - 'arborescence', at the moment. That's what I missed last time from the ecm FS, should have bought this too...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
ABG Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Currently giving this a spin for the first time and enjoying it greatly. A few imperfections on my copy, but by and large it plays very nicely. Like most ECM releases, it has original and genuinely interesting/engaging compositions. 2

Hi Andrew, give it a good clean or if you have record revirginizer, it should sound better, I bought this used at least a year ago and have not clean it at all, only listened once on one side only.Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edited April 13, 2015 by dwbasement

Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I'll add it to the ever growing list of "I must get off my lazy backside and give it a clean" pile. So much more fun listening to records than cleaning them. If there's anyone out there who feels the reverse to be true, please drop me a line... 1
