The suspenseful build-up has ended.

2. Robin Kenyatta – Girl from Martinique – “Blues for Your Mama”

3. Elton Dean – Boundaries – “Fast News”

4. John Abercrombie – Arcade – “Nightlake”

5. Oliver Lake Big Band – Wheels – “Is It Real”

6. Paul Motian – Tribute – “Victoria”

7. Amina Claudine Myers – Sama Rou – “Call To Prayer”

8. Edward Vesala – Satu – “Ballade for San”

9. Art Lande – Rubisa Patrol – “A Monk in His Simple Room” 1

0. Jan Garbarek – Runes – “I Took Up the Runes”

11. Arild Andersen – Sagn – “Lussi”

12. Charles Brackeen – Bannar – “Stone Blue”

I have all of those apart from the Lake and Lande. I should have taken part...I may have identified couple.

As a big fan of Mr Gonzalez's music it's interesting to see what he chose.

Off to find the two I don't own now

[felser]

Am I correctly counting five ECM's?

[mjazzg]

Seven by my count

Kenyatta, Abercrombie, Motian, Vesala, Lande, Garbarek, Andersen.

It's no surprise to me that  Mr G has such great taste

Thanks, forgot about the Kenyatta being ECM (and boy does that one need a CD issue), and have never heard of Vesala.

[mjazzg]

There's lots of discover with Vesala. Drummer from Finland who ran a band called Sound And Fury for many years.  One of the best live experiences I had, only saw them once though. A number of albums on ECM, all of which are very good, unique sound which many would lazily categorise as ECM Nordic Jazz, I wouldn't. Great depth to his music, obviously European rather than American in influence.  Much of it was orchestrated/written by Iro Haarla but she's uncredited. A very fine musician in her own right.

Or, you know, not copying because you're on it.

I've since picked up the albums from #s 4, 8 & 10. Several more to go with that Brackeen at the top of the list.

Charles Brackeen's Worshippers Come Nigh is amazing as well. 

Excellent array of music on this test!
