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.

Dominic Miller, born on March 21, 1960 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a renowned guitar player. He is best known for his collaborations with Sting but has also released solo albums and contributed to numerous session works.

With an impressive career spanning decades, Dominic Miller's exceptional talent on the guitar has captivated audiences worldwide. His unique style and musicality have made him a sought-after collaborator for many artists across various genres.

In addition to his work with Sting, Dominic Miller has released several successful solo albums that showcase his virtuosity and versatility as a musician. His compositions are characterized by intricate melodies and rich harmonies that resonate deeply with listeners.

Dominic Miller has been called "a great, serene storyteller" by Peter Ruedi in the Swiss weekly Weltwoche, and Vagabond, the guitarist's third recording for ECM, might prove his most poetic tale to date, as he creates striking melancholy textures fronting a quartet with Ziv Ravitz on drums, long-time associate Nicolas Fiszman on bass and pianist Jacob Karlzon. The foursome - each musician a skilled leader in his own right - a has a knack for balancing deep grooves with subtle interplay, weaving pastel shades into delicate harmonic changes as they chart a ruminative path through eight new Miller-originals. Dominic: "It's never been my intention to make a guitar album. Thanks to the amazing singers I've worked with over the years I see myself more as an instrumental songwriter. And as they do, I see it my mission to surround myself with the best musicians who understand the narratives in the 'songs'. I'm happy to have assembled the right lineup here with Vagabond." The album was recorded in the South of France and produced by Manfred Eicher. Dominic Miller:guitar; Jacob Karlzon:piano, keyboard; Nicolas Fiszman: bass; Ziv Ravitz: drums
