Favorite ECM Records of the 21st Century


Face of the Bass

Recommended Posts

Found this one and like it a lot (Goodwill of all places!) Stefano Bollani-Piano Solo (2006).

Did Stanko ever make a bad album? Even if he's a sideman I'm down for it. 

...no, I don't think he ever made a bad album too, but he never got to me either. I had two of his ECM's and never went back to them and sold them. I can't put my finger on it, but like he sounds so mechanical about his business I guess. Excellent musician, maybe he's just too ECM'd, I don't know how to put it. Safe, maybe.

Five Ralph Towner CDs released this century.  All tend toward tasteful rather than groundbreaking, but worth checking out.

I need to check those out. All of the Towner albums I have are older.

You have to be in a certain mood to listen to Stanko, or at least I have to be.  

He very much typifies the "ECM sound."

 

 

 

For the most part, yeah. Once settled in though, I find those albums riveting. His sideman work on that Katche album doesn’t necessarily fit that mold however.
