ECM 1,000th album celebrated

ECM, the Munich-based jazz (… modern classical…world etc) record label, with a roster that includes Keith Jarrett (his Koln Concert is ECM’s best-seller), Pat Metheny and Jan Garbarek, has a bullet-proof reputation among the cognoscenti. It’s universally regarded as the epitome of tasteful “cool”.

Some even see it as having, since its 1969 foundation, spearheaded a European jazz movement which, they claim, now outpaces improv music from its home, the USA.

The ECM label’s 1,000th release has just been celebrated with the publication of a handsome slip-cased coffee table volume, Horizons Touched: the music of ECM, from Granta Books (£45).

Magnificent.
