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

Jakob Bro - Gefion
This is Bro's ECM debut (although I also have three of his Loveland LPs, which I'm sure I'll feature soon).
Bro's reverberant restraint fits in well with the classic ECM production/house sound. He's joined by Thomas Morgan on bass, and they swap melodic lines back and forth while Jon Christensen's cymbal work (with the occasional drum) chimes behind.
Good stuff.

Witchi-Tai-To is an album by the Jan Garbarek–Bobo Stenson Quartet recorded over two days in November 1973 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet features rhythm section Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.
Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:
"...Last but not least is “Desireless.” This Don Cherry tune is given a 20-minute treatment that surpasses all expectations. It’s a mournful closer, a song of parting, an unrequited wish. It tries to hold on to a rope that is slipping through its fingers, even as it struggles with all the strength at its disposal to keep the music alive. Garbarek refuses to go down without an incendiary swan song, however, and by the end it is all we have left..."

Just discovered the Rainer Bruninghaus album Freigeweht. What joy, one of my favourite drummers Jon Christensen and Kenny Wheeler is in peak form and extraordinary (he was an improv God). Dreamy free-flowing music, but with a subtle edge as it slices through the conscious mind. Perfect accompaniment to Monkey Pick tea. #improvisedmusic #jazz #tea #kennywheeler #jonchristensen https://open.spotify.com/track/35DC8wjLFHprWADSLKQsUW?si=aWLzuhRPR0W_2m7br9orhg
