I should have written this post at least a month ago, but I don't have too much time nowadays. It will change soon.
So the ECM Season... what's this? Just that sort of things which lives in my mind, and I think about it as "something which is coming", "something which is worth to wait". As the weather turns cold and dark, the nights lengthen, people get in a mood when they would like to hear music which is more serious, I mean it stands on a higher and more complex musical quality, or has a contemplative side. Autumn comes and soon passes by to give its way to the long, long and dark winter. Sometimes we feel it wouldn't like to be over, it wants to stay here forever. But autumn, the beautiful season has another kind of special moods, which I told you a few times earlier in this blog. This special feeling takes great effect on you but as autumn goes ahead, the weather gets colder and the colours less colourful, the contemplative side and passing-by mood appears immediately. It's something which we have felt in our minds for a very long time, and maybe got stronger by poems, films, and childhood memories.
So this time has a special kind of music, too. The German label ECM can perfectly fit these desires with its special styled covers and great, fantastic, sometimes strange music. Let me show you a few notable albums.
- John Abercrombie & Ralph Towner - Sargasso Sea
- Art ensemble of Chicago - Full force
- Chick Corea - Return to forever
- Eberhard Weber Colours - Little movements
- Oregon - Oregon
- Colin Walcott, Don Cherry, Nana Vasconcelos - CoDoNa
- Rainer Brüninghaus - Freigeweht
- Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - Those who were
Later you will see reviews of these albums here.
