Coincidentally just came across the following at Fusenet:
 
Hi Folks,
All About Jazz is now publishing playlists from readers, writers and
artists. The last two days have seen the beginning of a series of ECM
playlists that will cover the past four decades.

1970s, Part 1 was published yesterday: http://j.mp/fjknWx

1970s, Part 2, today: http://j.mp/dMLZeE

There will be, I suspect, considerable controversy over the choices -
omissions and inclusions. But keep in mind two ground rules: first, only 20
titles per playlist (with a tad wiggle room); and two, try not to
overemphasize and single artist, so in general a max of two songs for any
given artist.

Best!
Dave

Hi,
 
Keith Jarrett's - The Koln Concert
Egberto Gismonti - No Caipira
Jan Garbarek - Eventyr
Terje Rypdal/David Darling - Eos
 
... right off the bat. I have a whole bunch of Eberhard Weber, Charlie Haden, Abercrombie, Walcott, Shankar and so many others that it is nearly impossible to vote on anything like this and I will pass until we all get to hear some more of these things.
 
Chalie Haden with Jan Garbarek and Egberto Gismonti .... is also an amazinb combination ... either Magico or Folk Songs are both excellent.
 
Goodness ... I have a few things to get! I can't afford all this!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

No sniping guys. ECM has so much to offer that you'd need a whole slew of polls to cover it.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Anything that bring some of my fusion heroes together, i.e.  Abercrombie, Hammer, Brecker & DeJohnette - specially when its a rare occasion to hear Jan Hammer playing what sounds like the Hammond organ. Also a chance to sample some (chamber) reggae based fusion - another rarity.
 
Admittedly a bit of toss up between this and the earlier album by Abercrombie, Hammer,  DeJohnette  - Timeless

No need for sarcasm here, you want us to vote , at least you should explain why you picked these particular releases, because really (no sarcasm here) ECM has much more to offer.

Yes, I own Towner' Solstice LP, which is still in a perfect condition! Cool BTW, I tried to make an ECM poll without a "greatest hits", but this is not possible!
Manfred Eicheir never profuced a bad album, or borring album in ECM heydays!
Heard Bill Frissel "In Line", or Dave Darling' "Cycles"? Highly recommended by me! VERY proggy stuff!

Yeah I had an LP version but when I saw it was available on CD I had to go for it.  The LP is yet another flood casualty.  For vinyl enthusiasts you can't beat the quality of an ECM.  Heavy vinyl, great pressing, plastic inner sleeve.  Big smile

I probably have heard both of those at some point but don't have them.

Might have to turn this into an ECM enthusiast's thread.

Walcott's another one of those artists who went before his time due to an accident.  I've got Colin all over my music collection. Big smile

I can't play the Colin clip in my country. Unhappy

John Abercrombie: Night
Everyman Band: Without Warning
Terj Rypdal: Chaser
Agnes Buen Garnas/Jan Garbarek: Rosensfole
Pat Metheny Group: American Garage
David Torn: Cloud About Mercury
Trio Beyond: Saudades
Dave Holland Quintet: The Razor's Edge
John Surman: Road To St Ives
Nils Petter Molvaer: Solid Ether
Mark Isham/Art Lande: We Begin
Zakir Hussain: Making Music

Great list! But, I dont know why,  I never been fan of "Night". For me, this is the best ECM lp where Abercrombie played (just my opinion of course):

 I voted that amazing (1974) Belonging LP by Jan Garbarek, Keith Jarrett, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.
