Violinisten Nils Økland och keyboardisten Sigbjørn Apeland har kamperat ihop i 30 år, i ett ständigt utforskande av traditionell norsk musik i kombination med improvisation. På nya albumet "Glimmer" har de snappat upp traditionella sånger från Haugaland och satt ihop dem med egna kompositioner.

Joe Lovano och hans polska vänner i Marcin Wasilewski-trion är särskilt äventyrliga på sitt andra gemensamma album på ECM. På Homage undersöker kvartetten det fria och flödande samspelet samt expansiva improvisationer som har blivit en så viktig del av Lovanos äventyr.

Mark Turner Quartet Lathe of Heaven Mark Turner: tenor saxophone; Avishai Cohen: trumpet; Joe Martin: double bass; Marcus Gilmore: drums <br/><br/>Mark Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, renowned for his intimate expressivity on the full range of the tenor. Lathe of Heaven is his ECM leader debut, following albums for the label in the cooperative trio Fly with Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard, and appearances on ECM recordings by Billy Hart, Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollani. Turner leads a quartet of kindred spirits here, often entwining long serpentine lines with rising-star trumpeter Avishai Cohen, underpinned by the lithe and powerful rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmore.Lathe of Heaven, produced by Manfred Eicher at New York's Avatar Studio in June 2013, has a long-breathed essence characteristic of Turner's work, with melody taking primacy.
