Happy anniversary to ECM records for an astounding 50 years of exploring and recording new music. The legendary label from Munich which redefined jazz and contemporary classic music with milestone records by the likes of Keith Jarrett or Arvo Pärt feels as age- and timeless as ever, so 50 somehow comes as a surprise – as we guess it always does. If you are nearby, catch their annivesary events in San Franciso, New York, Milan, Brussels or Warsaw – failing that, take some time out to relisten to Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert, or reread our interview with ECM’s mastermind Manfred Eicher, still available at mono.konsum.
