What strings are you using?

Very, very nice recommendations, Matt. It’s a shame publications like Downbeat don’t really review the kind of music you reviewed. ECM in particular has produced so much great music that falls somewhere in between jazz, classical, and folk, but you almost never hear about it.

banjo is great! But that Rhythm guitar was TIGHT!

Grand merci pour ces découvertes, à suivre 👍

Cycles by David Darling is an archetype of what ECM is. Recommended !!

Love ECM and found it interesting to see what your favourites are cause there were quite a few there that I haven't heard yet and will check them out. I'm now in the process of streaming all the ECM albums in Chronological order, started with the first in 1970 and I'm now up to 75 and have found quite a few new masterpieces that I really love. My Ten so far would be. 1 - Keith Jarret - Köln Concert 2 - Keith Jarret - Changeless. 3 - Chick Corea - Piano Improvisation vol 1. 4 - Chick Corea - Return To Forever. 5 - Zakir Hussain - Making Music. 6 - Shankar - Vision. 7 - Charlie Haden - Ballad of the Fallen. 8 - Art Ensemble of Chicago - Full Force. 9 - Andras Schiff - Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Clavier. 10 - Pat Metheny - First Circle.

'Don't dumb yourself down' - very interesting section.

I love Tuur, no doubt about his qualities but it's just an opinion. My opinion is that as much as I love Tuur, John Adams is better with more variety. I also like Thomas Adès. Best of all Allan Pettersson or Shostakovich. There is plenty of room for both all.

I am an ECM fan and struggling to get the CDs. Please help me to get Matthias Eick and Oded Tzur.

Hey there Matt! This morning YT decided to recommend me a video of yours about ECM records I remember watched many months ago. Good to see you are still creating content. It's great to hear the opinions and ideas of another jazz and music fan. If you allow me to recommend, I think it would be very interesting and fruitful if the videos had a little more production and design. I am referring to the possibility of showing the cover art digitally on the screen, maybe listen to some snippets of the music you are mentioning, separate the selected albums as chapters in the video, etc. I have a feeling that could bring great results to your channel. Best regards from South America.

My buddy Jad

Onuka are an incredible band & Nata & her husband are very talented.

Danny’s work with Transatlantic Sessions is absolutely exceptional. So extraordinarily expressive, wow!

ordered. can't wait to listen. thank you for all of your insights and recommendations over the years.

Strap buttons?

Thankyou Danny, for Five Leaves Left, EVERYTHING you did with John Martyn and especially for your contribution to the most beautiful song I've ever heard; David Sylvian's "Orpheus". Bless you and get well brother.

thats my son

In any interview, if the question lasts the same time as the answer or longer, it gets a bit tiring.. thank god it's Lisa, I'm hanging from her lips, absorbing the revealing science of goddess.

Do you still like it

Wow! Terrific list! Saved all these, so excited to check em out!

Evan Parker-Towards The Margins, and Jan Garbarek-Twelve Moons are 2 of my favorites!

My favorite ECM release is the Dave Holland Quartet's Conference of the Birds.

ECM is a gold mine of beautiful sounds.Found ecm in1974 still listening today My go too album is Survivors suite by Keith Jarrett

😀 Promo*SM

I have been following Terje Rypdal since 1970 or 71. His music never gets old for me.

Very cool Matt! Looking forward to hearing how this all comes together!

This is good but it’s all modern stuff. You should have a list of older standard ECM 70s?

I give my highest recommendation to My Foolish Heart by Ralph Towner

No Keith Jarrett ?

Nice video! Yes Tüür is fantastic!

Hi, friend! Nice to see you hear❤ I hope, you're ok now))

It’s funny how everyone thinks my dad couldn’t play it that fast and now everyone else tries.

This is the stuff I would show to someone on hallucinogens to make them have weird thoughts

Thank You Matt, for having such a wise woman as Lisa Bella Donna on your interview. What a true blessing for all of us to experience.

Pat Metheny Offramp is my favorite. I believe it's ECM's biggest seller.

Just discovered this video. Congratulations! I'm very humbled to be working with you soon, Scutch 😊

Congrats, Matts!

Great news Matt! And good to see you back on here as well!

Will be looking forth to it! :)

Great video but you could smarten up a bit when you appear in your videos- you weren’t even wearing a blazer jacket. Tsk.

Like you correctly said, nothing is permanent since ''EVERY THING PASSES BUT GOD , WHO IS ETERNAL; THUS WHOEVER HAS GOD HAS EVERYTHING...'', so said the mystic and saint Teresa de Avila. Love Victoria and Josquin music too, by the way... Do Shema!!!.

Barre Phillips - Mountainscapes

Officium was my introduction to both Jan Garbarek and the Hilliard Ensembleas well. An odd listen for me at fist, but this seemingly unnatural pairing grew on me, and it makes for a very rewarding experience.

River Suite is a Great Album!!

This is Hope. Thank you Matt and John for taking the time for this fantastic interview. I really appreciate how in-depth and comprehensive it was and not just fluff. Thank you so much.

Did you ever swap the cone on this uke?

Beethoven was a revolutionary. He was dangerous then and still dangerous now to the powers that be. Thats why the playing of Beethoven is only allowed in a way that will leave the privileged citizens and the leading elites assured that a revolution will not happen.
