Forthcoming ECM releases


Guy Berger

Recommended Posts

This one is appearing soon - I like Nude Ants when I'm in the right mood, and I'm looking forward to hearing this. I guess the title will invite cruel and harsh humor from anti-Jarretteers...

Disc: 1

1. Personal Mountains

2. Innocence

3. So Tender

Disc: 2

1. Oasis

2. Chant Of The Soil

3. Prism

4. New Dance

could be interesting. I'd be a lot more excited if it were the Garbarek/Stenson quartet

I liked the "European quartet", actually. Nothing to complain about in an opportunity to hear more. That was a good band playing at a very high level.

If I'm going to complain about anything, it's about thinking that all complaints about all things ECM are all the same. I'll call bullshit on that one, and pay for the call myself.

I thought Charlie was too sick to play. Maybe that's why it's called Last Dance.

Wouldn't surprise me if these recordings are from the same sessions as Jasmine. Either way, calling it Last Dance could be construed as being a bit cynical and manipulative on ECM's part, but i guess benefit of the doubt and all that.

I love the Bley cover - CD is finally on the way, hope to have it here this week!

The Jarrett/Haden will be of interest - when was it recorded? I dimly remember reading Charlie was doing somewhat better, but I don't remember details. He, to me, is one of the greats. Jarrett can be happy he bothers to play with him, as he's no Hank Jones by a long stretch ... but yeah, "Jasmine" wasn't too bad. Still, the Haden/Jones duo looms over any other duos haden does with piano players and to my ears, none of them are quite up there, not even Chris Anderson (but he's close, I'd say).

although not being a dedicated Keith Jarrett follower, "Jasmine" actually sounds pretty good to these ears......and regarding Charlie Haden piano duos, for sure more than worth a mention are

Charlie Haden/Hampton Hawes "As long there is Music" (Artists House) 1978

Charlie Haden/Denny Zeitlin "Time remembers one Time once" (ECM) 1982

Not saying any of those are bad or something, the one with Hawes is indeed great! ... there's also two fine discs with Kenny Barron and John Taylor (don't know the Zeitlin)

It's just that to my ears, the ones with Hank Jones reach another level that is out of reach with any of the others (in the case of Barron and Hawes I'm not sure they wanted to go there, but surely Jarrett tried).

didn`t think so ;-) .......just wanted to mention this two recordings.......of course i remember your weak spot for the Haden/Jones duo`s (as my weak spot is firmly in the Haden/Hawes duo`s hands)....

Keith Jarrett / Charlie Haden - "Last Dance" is out in the US on 6/17. It was recorded over four days in March 2007 in Jarrett's home recording studio. These duet sessions resulted in "Jasmine" and now Jarrett and Haden have selected more songs for this new release.
