John Abercrombie en concert le 11 novembre 1987 à Reims (1/2)

John Abercrombie est un monstre sacré de la guitare ! Et c’est pourtant un musicien au style plutôt sobre, mais qui fut toujours à l’avant-garde du jazz, notamment avec le fameux label ECM pour lequel il a enregistré une trentaine d’albums…

Richie Beirach (1947-2026) plays “Nardis” for Steve Silberman, plus Beirach with the John Abercrombie Quartet

In August 2018, Steve Silberman published "Broken Time", an essay on Miles Davis's 1958 composition "Nardis". Among the musicians he interviewed was pianist Richie Beirach (1947-2026). One morning, Silberman wrote, Beirach asked him to call him, and then played "Nardis" over the phone for twenty minutes. When Silberman said he

Grateful-Dead-like “spaces” in 1984 concerts by Ralph Towner, John Abercrombie, and Oregon

When I went to see Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie in January 1984, I was primed to love their guitar duets by my love for the "Space" sections of Grateful Dead concerts with guitarists Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir. Towner and Abercrombie may have been playing tunes, but they often

Becoming a fan of live jazz with Ralph Towner (1940-2026) and John Abercrombie

Lookout Farm is an album by American jazz saxophonist Dave Liebman recorded over two days in October 1973 and released on ECM—his debut for the label.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

Saxophonist, flutist, and all-around wunderkind Dave Liebman—who only last year received an NEA Jazz Masters lifetime achievement award for his tireless efforts in music and instruction—made his ECM debut with Lookout Farm, his first of only two albums for producer Manfred Eicher as leader (the other being the enthralling Drum Ode; he would also guest on Steve Swallow’s Home some six years later) and a trendsetter for fledgling improvisers seeking their voices in the seventies and beyond. Here, he is joined by a telepathic ensemble that includes regulars Richie Beirach and John Abercrombie, in addition to a pointed percussion section...

Ended Tuesday and started Wednesday with Music for Large & Small Ensembles is a double album by Canadian jazz trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, released on ECM in 1990

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

Canadian trumpeter Kenny Wheeler had been writing for jazz orchestra for three decades before this recording, criminally the only of its kind widely available at the time, was released. With a cast list (mostly veterans of the London jazz scene) to make one swoon, ECM’s first release of the 1990s raised the bar on production, arrangement, composition, and musicianship that had been the label’s prime tenets since its inception in 1969.

It’s easy to praise Wheeler as player, but on Music For Large & Small Ensembles we are given a smorgasbord of his delectable talents as composer. This massive two-disc set begins with The Sweet Time Suite in eight parts...
