Ended the weekend and welcomed the working week after a swim with Surrounded by Sea an album by British saxophonist and composer Andy Sheppard recorded in Switzerland in 2014 and released on the ECM label the following year.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM reviews:

"Surrounded by Sea marks the fifth ECM appearance by English saxophonist Andy Sheppard. To the configuration of bassist Michel Benita and drummer Sebastian Rochford (with whom he previously recorded as Trio Libero) he now welcomes the ambient touch of guitarist Eivind Aarset. The latter, perhaps more than any other, evokes the encompassing waters of the album’s title, and draws on the relationship formed on Sheppard’s ECM debut, Movements in Colour.

Emphasis sides with Sheppard’s compositions, which have the first and final word on Surrounded by Sea. “Tipping Point,” co-written with Benita, opens the set on a distant shore.."

Höre gerade ein neues Album von #nikbaertsch und seinem Projekt Ronin. Es ist nicht bei #ecmrecords erschienen, und soll ich was sagen, es klingt auch nicht so gut, obwohl die Stücke interessant sind. Ein Hoch auf die tollen #tonstudios und die Leute von #ecm. #gutemusik #jazz

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Trio Libero an album by British saxophonist and composer Andy Sheppard recorded in Switzerland in July 2011 and released on ECM in January the following year

The level of comfort shared by saxophonist Andy Sheppard, bassist Michel Benita, and drummer Sebastian Rochford bears out from the first moments of opener “Libertino” with a looseness that never loses sight or hold of things..Under guise of balladry, “When We Live On The Stars…” concludes with a promise that the people and pleasures we adore will still be waiting for us when we wake.

Nowhere within these relatively brief tunes will you find demonstrative solos or waving of virtuosic flags. That said, it requires a special kind of virtuosity to carry off such music so humbly, and with a spirit that is as naked as the day all of us were born. This is the art of the trio, liberated."

Welcomed sleep and greeted the new day after my swim with Romaria an album by the Andy Sheppard Quartet recorded in Switzerland in April 2017 and released on ECM February the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Eivind Aarset, Michel Benita and Sebastian Rochford.

Saxophonist Andy Sheppard’s quartet with guitarist Eivind Aarset, bassist Michel Benita and drummer Sebastian Rochford pulls out threads from this album’s predecessor and from them weaves an even more seamless tapestry.

Once again, Aarset proves an integral presence, adding (in Sheppard’s words) an “orchestral voice,” which percolates as life-giving water through soil..."

Slipped into sleep and then welcomed Friday with Cycles the second album by cellist David Darling, recorded in 1981 and released on ECM the following year.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"Cellist David Darling has had a long, if sporadic, association with ECM, quietly forging—either under the guise of solo artist or buried in an album’s roster—some of the label’s most lyrical atmospheres. With Cycles, however, Darling magnified his sound-world through the inimitable talents of Jan Garbarek and Collin Walcott in a space both selfless and uniquely his own. Add to that the astonishing pianism of Steve Kuhn and the depth of Arild Andersen on bass, and you get what is, to this listener at least, one of ECM’s finest celestial alignments..."

Yellow Fields is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded in September 1975 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features saxophonist Charlie Mariano, pianist Rainer Brüninghaus and drummer Jon Christensen.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded it the maximum four stars and placed it in their Core Collection, writing "Weber's masterpiece is essentially a period piece which nevertheless still seems modern. The sound of it is almost absurdly opulent: bass passages and swimming keyboard textures that reverberate from the speakers, chords that seem to hum with huge overtones. The keyboard textures in particular are of a kind that will probably never be heard on record again." - Wikipedia

Ended the weekend and greeted the week after a swim with Life Goes On by Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard and Steve Swallow, released on ECM in 2020

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"For its third ECM outing, pianist Carla Bley’s trio with saxophonist Andy Sheppard and bassist Steve Swallow mixes up an antidote for these times of uncertainty and quarantine. The title suite is the first of three comprising the program. Given that “Life Goes On” came out of a recent brush with illness, it’s fitting that Bley should begin in the dark whimsy of the blues. Her left hand plows fertile soil before leaving Sheppard and Swallow to sow their thematic crop. Years of experience and collaboration funnel into Swallow’s intimate rapport with Bley and into Sheppard’s unforced, spiritual playing. The latter, whether breathing through tenor or soprano, takes two steps forward for every retreat.."

Ended Thursday and started Friday with Here Be Dragons by Oded Tzur, released on ECM in 2020.

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

"Born in Tel Aviv and based in New York, tenor saxophonist Oded Tzur could not have found a more suitable home than ECM for his gentle brand of jazz. His uniquely tonal approach to the instrument, channeled through a rare melodic purity, make for a powerful combination. Heavily schooled in Indian classical music, he treats each tune as a raga in and of itself, and uses likeminded structures in distinctly jazz-oriented parallels to unleash the inner life of every motif. Ensuring that nothing goes to waste are his trusted crew of pianist Nitai Hershkovits, bassist Petros Klampanis, and drummer Johnathan Blake.

After a tender yet angular introduction, “To Hold Your Hand” ushers in a dimly lit performance that relies more on the contour of sound than on the sound of contour.."
