Label GB

ECM Records, also known as "The Creative Label," is a German independent label that was co-founded by producer Manfred Eicher, Manfred Scheffner, and Karl Egger in Munich (Pasing) in 1969. With the label code LC 2516 / LC 02516, ECM stands for Edition of Contemporary Music and focuses on jazz and Western classical music. They showcase both acoustic and electronic artists who produce eclectic versions of contemporary music.

ECM's extensive catalog features a wide range of genres, from contemporary works by renowned composers like Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Philip Glass to experimental and electronic jazz from artists such as Nils Petter Molvær, Pat Metheny Group, and Jan Garbarek. Over the past 40+ years, ECM has released more than 1500 recordings that have been acclaimed for their exceptional music quality, creative production techniques, and outstanding sound.

Although an independent label, ECM titles are distributed by Universal Music Group (UMG) in the US, Japan, and throughout Europe. However, they have also collaborated with other distributors over the years. Notably during the period when Polydor distributed ECM products in Germany; [l447694] was used for pressing identified by a CP suffix on labels and runouts. Afterward,[l25946] became their primary distributor.

Mathias Eick, born on June 26, 1979, is a Norwegian jazz musician known for his exceptional talent on the trumpet. However, his musical abilities extend beyond just one instrument as he also plays the double bass, vibraphone, piano, and guitar. Eick has had the privilege of performing alongside renowned music groups and musicians such as Jaga Jazzist, Chick Corea, and Pat Metheny. He is also a valued member of Thomas Dybdahl's backing band - The Great October Sound.

Eick's unique sound and versatility have earned him comparisons to other notable artists in the jazz genre. Some similar artists include Ketil Bjørnstad, Bobo Stenson Trio, Jon Balke, Arild Andersen, Trygve Seim, Misha Alperin,Nils Petter Molvær,and Helge Lien Trio among others.

With an impressive repertoire and collaborations with esteemed musicians throughout his career,Eick continues to captivate audiences with his extraordinary talent and passion for jazz music.

The new violinist in Eick's ensemble is Håkon Aase, one of the up-and-coming players of the new Norwegian scene, whom attentive ECM listeners will already know from his work with Thomas Strønen's group. The core Eick road band is further shored up by the addition of Helge Andreas Norbakken, who interacts excitingly with fellow drummer Torstein Lofthus. Eick is in great form as a writer on this showing, deploying driving rhythm at the bottom end of his music and soaring melody at the top in this series of pieces which add up to a kind of collective family portrait, touching upon "all the emotional situations we experience on the stage where we mostly hang around. That is: home." Embodied in the music, with its strongly melodic themes and improvisational exchanges, are ideas of relationships, dialogues, longings, games - and journeys. 'Ravensburg' was recorded at Oslo's Rainbow Studio in June 2017 and produced by Manfred Eicher and it is issued on both CD and 180g vinyl (with a free download code). Personnel: Mathias Eick (trumpet, voice), Håkon Aase (violin), Andreas Ulvo (piano), Audun Erlien (electric bass), Torstein Lofthus (drums), Helge Andreas Norbakken (drums, percussion)
