re: the impossible question

Great question - you got me provoked. But there's clearly more than one answer, since these are favorites for different reasons :
My first ECM album : Ralph Towner and Solstice - Sound and Shadows.
Most quintessentially "ECM" ECM album : Tomasz Stanko - Matko Joanna.
Most compelling new direction for ECM : John Balke and Batagraf - Statements.
Well, I could go on...

Well, definitely 'Tabula Rasa' by Arvo Pärt.
And my recent favourite is 'The Jewel In The Lotus' by Bennie Maupin.

I've never heard of the titles mentioned by the OP and borealiz-nu, I'll give those a listen soon :-)

Thats an amazing question... It is hard to say which is my favorite. One I do find myself going back to however is Perter Erskine's Time Being. Love love LOVE Taylor and Palle on that album!

Heh. More like fifty? Off the top of my head, Stanko's Leosia; Surman's Free and Equal; Rypdal/Vitous/deJohnette and Descendre; and lately I've been listening to a lot of Gustavson, Trygve Seim and Grbarek's In Praise of Dreams (I know, I'll get flamed for this, but it has grown on me tremendously since I've heard it for the first time). No, that 's just too tough of a call: most of the less obviously "jazzy" ECM is always up there on the heavy rotation list. And let's not even get into the New Series...:P

Hmm, this is a tricky one....
Somewhere between Ralph Towner's Solstice (probably my favourite 'jazz' album of all time), Eberhard Weber's Pendulum and Belonging by Keith Jarrett's 'European' Quartet.

Hi,

What an excellent group and question.

I'd have to say that the most important, as opposed to most favorite, ECM record for me was Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians which was loaned to me when I was a musician in high school and forever changed my musical and personal consciousness. ECM put out so many thoughtful and rich musical adventures, what a magical label it was. Arvo Pärt, Reich, Pat Metheny, so many people who were so important to me once upon a time, and to this day. Much gratitude to the wisdom and determination of all who brought these miraculous recordings to life.

Well, there's way too much fantastic music released by this great label, so this question isn't easily answered; but the two albums that I like best are Astrakan Café and Le Pas Du Chat Noir (both by Anouar Brahem). :)

ONE of my favourite albums is I Took Up The Runes. I love the musical themes and Eberhard Weber's bass playing on the album is just beautiful. Russ

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path...

I don't know what the best is, but a favorite of mine is Timeless by John Abercrombie because it was the first ECM album i bought. It had a quality to it unlike any of the be bop and hard bop my young mind had associated with "jazz" I didn't know Steve Reichs music for 18 musicians was on ECM originally( i have a box set with that lp in it that was released on nonesuch.) That album to me is indescribable in its beauty.

There's no best... There are excellent ones as other people have mentioned. All are great albums. Some old Jan Garbarek albums are really good. Ralph Towner's Old Friends New Friends. Abercrombie and Scofield's Solar. Ofcourse, the masterpiece album Second Sight. Folk Songs is another masterpiece... It's actually not possible to list all for me...

Unless you've got a gun ...

You gotta be kidding. One album! I think, even with a gun to my head, my choice would be arbitrary once I'd narrowed it down to my top 5 - 10.

Anyway, I don't know about "best" ECM album, but these are the ones that have made my jaw drop:

At the Blue Note (The Complete Recordings) - Keith Jarrett Trio Does this count as one album, or is this cheating?
Extended Play - Dave Holland Quintet
Canto - Charles Lloyd
Gnu High - Kenny Wheeler
The Plot - Enrico Rava
Tabula Rasa - Arvo Pärt

We are all in this alone - Lily Tomlin
