RiRiIII Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/products?term.list_id=ecm_shmcd_20150213 What would be your recommendations to somebody not really into the ECM's jazz output? I do not see any new remastering info. Thanks Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 German ECM discs sound fine. Only rare and OOP items are of interest imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Jarrett's "Changeless" and Corea's "Trio Music Live in Europe" are my favorites of this bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I am looking at "Arcade" by John Abercrombie. Don't think I have ever seen that on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ralph Towner's Solo Concert is one of my favorites of his over his long career. I also really like Sargasso Sea, his duets with Abercrombie. I may pick up "Solstice;" curious about many of the others listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 There are more titles than the 40 linked-to by Alexandros. See http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/products?term.shop=music%2Fjazz-fusion&order=rel&opt.on_preorder=1&page=2 The prior page also showed Mal Waldron's Free At Last.

StarThrower Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Steve Kuhn - Trance is a beautiful album. I have the original edition of Charlie Haden/Egberto Gismonti In Montreal, and it sounds great. I can't see buying any title again for this SHM technology.

RiRiIII Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) It seems that the ECM 45th anniversary SHM-CD japanese series ("ECM FOR TOMORROW") are as follows: 08 April 2015 : http://www.universal-music.co.jp/other/ecm45th-anniversary/cat/ecm-encore http://www.universal-music.co.jp/other/ecm45th-anniversary/cat/ecm2015 23 April 2014 N.B.: the Mal Waldron Free At Last tiltle is listed here but it belongs to the above batch - many from the 2014 titles are oop at cdjapan. http://www.universal-music.co.jp/other/ecm45th-anniversary/cat/ecm-now http://www.universal-music.co.jp/other/ecm45th-anniversary/cat/ecm-selection and from the non jazz new series: http://www.universal-music.co.jp/other/ecm45th-anniversary/cat/ecm-new-series Edited February 17, 2015 by Alexandros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 If you aren't into the "ECM sound," go earlier in the catalog - Bley's Ballads (originally slated to be on ESP, supposedly), Richie Beirach's Eon, Corea's ARC, the Waldron... Dollar Brand's African Piano is great - originally released on the tiny Danish label Spectator, then reissued by Japo. Garbarek's Witchi-Tai-To is also a classic and sounds good.

CJ Shearn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 What's interesting to me is John Kelman has told me the Japanese ECM discs are actually not signed off on by Manfred at all, remastering of ECM titles is done purely on a case by case basis.

CJ Shearn Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I have to agree also with John Kelman when we spent time chatting after my interview with him a few months back, the "ECM Sound" is more an approach more than anything, a specific vision. We can take or leave the things we don't like (I still have trouble with Jan Garbarek's tone, but he's great on Jarrett's "Sleeper") I haven't felt the need to upgrade any of my ECM CD's they all sound fine to me. Turn the volume up on some, it's all good. "Changeless" and "Rejoicing" are musts, I haven't heard Llyria, but the funk on the two Nik Bartsch Ronin discs I have created thru the Reich-ish minimalism grooves deep, it's fantastic for getting locked into a groove.

I don't think that ever came out on CD as a regular release in Europe. It was one I was looking for for many years. It has appeared as a download. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lookout-Richard-Beirach-Frank-Liebman/dp/B009U1JG7I/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1424337145&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=dave+liebman+lookout The mysteries of why things appear in one format and not another utterly bemuse me.
