This is my favourite ECM release of recent years. I love Marilyn Mazur's band albums a lot too (though the best of those aren't on ECM, but on various Scandinavian lables), but there's just something beautifully primal about the combination of mere percussion and sax... I'm not sure if you should even call this jazz, it's just some deep organic ambient cowbell chants.

Ah, this is what I needed today, Tuomas, thanks!
Recently I picked up a free ECM sampler from 2011 or something, and a Jacob Young track on there called "Time Rebel" really stood out. I'd post a link but it's not on Youtube. Anyway, the tune is just beautiful, especially the percussion. I guess they are playing "time," but damn if I know what it is! The whole album is really, err, impressionistic, really haunted-sounding. The album doesn't deviate stylistically much from the one track I heard, which is fine by me. I will concede that something about the tone of the tone of the trumpet occasionally reminds me of Chuck Mangione, but, well...minor complaint.
Also, TS: Windham Hill Vs ECM? Actually, nevermind, I may start a separate thread for that.

not one mention of Mal Waldron on this thread and he was ECM_001 and pretty fucking badass!

think he was also the first release on japo (ecm sister label?) featuring wolfgang dauner's rhythm section of the time... (add to the list of albums i need to hear)

I hate that none of this is streaming now that Mog is dead.

Reading about MOG it looks like it was the grandfather? of Apple Music, so does anyone know why ECM isn't on there?
― MrExplorer, Saturday, 4 June 2016 08:02 (seven years ago) link
I'd guess that Eicher - a known stickler for sound quality - would not really be into streaming.

Maybe not – but he did license the entire ECM catalogue to MOG.

Search "Silence" (Charlie Haden) from Magico (Haden, Gismonti, Garbarek). So simple and so sad. The tune is like an arrow made from a feather piercing my heart.
