Pärt Arvo: Te Deum (Kaljuste) [CD]

Bro Jakob/Mikkelborg/Morgan: Returnings 2018 [CD]

Efterlängtat möte mellan två jazzgiganter! Ett duoalbum med trumpetaren<b> Enrico Rava </b>och pianisten<b> Fred Hersch</b>, inspelat under en glödande studiosession i Lugano i november 2021<br/><br/> "The album they have created plays brilliantly to the strengths of both musicians. The opening 'Retrato Em Banca E Preto' takes the Jobim composition and probes at it sensitively and co-operatively, so that Rava's stabbing phrases are countered by Hersch's sense of texture." (Alyn Shipton)

In June 1994 over three extraordinary nights at the celebrated Blue Note in New York City, Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio took American jazz to new heights. Keith Jarrett At The Blue Note - The Complete Recordings (six CDs) captures every tune from every set from every night - a unique documentation of one of this decade's greatest performances. "Jarrett makes each new note sound like a discovery ... The music whispered and glimmered, seeking a pure, incorporeal song." <br/>(New York Times, June 6, 1994)<br/><br/>Keith Jarrett, piano<br/>Gary Peacock, bass<br/>Jack DeJohnette, drums<br/><br/>Recorded June 1994

Både Jakob Bro och Joe Lovano spelade tidigare med trum-ikonen Paul Motian. Här leder de ett stjärnspäckat gäng medmusikanter i en hyllning till sin gamla kollega och vän. Med Larry Grenadier, Thomas Morgan och Anders Christensen, bas, samt trumslagarna Joey Baron och Jorge Rossy.<br/><br/> LIRA GILLLAR!<br/>"En fantastiskt välspelad platta med inte minst Bros fina Song to an old friend och Pause i hög ECM-klass." (Magnus Östnäs, Lira)

Released on the occasion of Anouar Brahem's 60th birthday, "Blue Maqams" offers many reasons to celebrate. Recorded in New York's Avatar Studios in May 2017 and produced by Manfred Eicher, it brings the Tunisian oud master together with three brilliant improvisers: the "Maqams" of the title refers to the Arabic modal music system, rendered kind of blue by the jazz players. For Anouar Brahem and Dave Holland the album marks a reunion: they first collaborated 20 years ago on the very widely-acclaimed "Thimar" album. Brahem meets Jack DeJohnette for the first time here, but Holland and DeJohnette have been frequent musical partners over the last half-century beginning with ground-breaking work with Miles Davis - their collaborations are legendary. British pianist Django Bates also rises superbly to the challenge of Brahem's compositions. And Anouar in turn is inspired to some of his most outgoing playing. "Blue Maqams" is a highlight of ECM's autumn season.
