Terje Rypdal is an album by Norwegian jazz guitarist Terje Rypdal recorded over two days in August 1971 and released on ECM later that year. The septet features singer Inger Lise Rypdal, saxophonist Jan Garbarek, oboist Ekkehard Fintl, and rhythm section Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen. - Wikipedia

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

Terje Rypdal’s first ECM effort as frontman is a bewitching look into the Norwegian guitarist’s formative years. With a bevy of talented musicians in tow, he forges a mercurial portrait of late-night melodies and hidden desires. “Keep It Like That – Tight” is stifling and seedy, buffeted by cooling fans and laced with the fumes of an alcoholic haze. It’s a desolate hotel room where more than evening falls..

Oriental Wind by Okay Temiz's Oriental Wind, released on Sonet in 1977.

Swedish Progg wrote:

...As with Sevda, this is jazz with a Turkish twist. The musicianship's extraordinary, with bass man Palle Danielsson, pianist Bobo Stenson and sax player Lennart Åberg (Rena Rama and others) being the Swedes in the lot. Temiz himself is one of the few that can play a drum solo that aren't merely a pee break to the listener; his playing is marvellous, he always keeps the momentum going through sharp attention without ever losing the direction. He truly leads the band, focuses each of the musicians' efforts into one collective, transcendent performance. It's a true joy to listen to ”Oriental Wind”, and other Sevda fans ought to be just as delighted as I am by it. Simply excellent.

Landscapes by Rena Rama, released on Japo in 1977.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

Saxophonist, flutist, and composer Lennart Åberg is among ECM’s sleeper talents. Having graced the label only as sideman to 1994’s Dona Nostra, his brilliance was saved instead for the limited JAPO imprint. On this record he is joined by fellow Swedes Bobo Stenson (piano) and Palle Danielsson (bass), both familiar to ECM listeners. Perhaps not is American drummer Leroy Lowe, who rounds out this incarnation of the quartet known as Rena Rama and played with the group from 1975 to 1983. Born 1944 on a Pittsburg farm, Lowe began playing drums in his high school marching band and later befriended such greats as Billy Hart in his quest for a personal voice...

Dansere (Norwegian: "Dancers") is the second album credited to the Jan Garbarek–Bobo Stenson Quartet, recorded in November 1975 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

There is a tendency in ECM’s formative jazz releases toward immersive beginnings. Dansere is no exception, with its introductory flutter of sax and glittering piano runs. Comparing this album to Belonging, which features Keith Jarrett in the same company as Bobo Stenson is here, it’s amazing to consider the differences with another pianist at the fulcrum. One musician’s worth of difference may not seem like much on the back of an album jacket, but here it translates into essentially ten new voices with their own sensibility of time and space...

Witchi-Tai-To is an album by the Jan Garbarek–Bobo Stenson Quartet recorded over two days in November 1973 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"...Last but not least is “Desireless.” This Don Cherry tune is given a 20-minute treatment that surpasses all expectations. It’s a mournful closer, a song of parting, an unrequited wish. It tries to hold on to a rope that is slipping through its fingers, even as it struggles with all the strength at its disposal to keep the music alive. Garbarek refuses to go down without an incendiary swan song, however, and by the end it is all we have left..."
