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 specializes in jazz and Western classical music. Their catalog features both acoustic and electronic artists who produce eclectic versions of contemporary music.

Since its inception, ECM has released over 1500 recordings spanning more than 40 years. The label's diverse catalog includes works from renowned composers such as Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, and many others. They are also known for their experimental and electronic jazz releases featuring artists like Nils Petter Molvær, Pat Metheny Group, Jan Garbarek, among others.

What sets ECM apart is not only their outstanding music but also their commitment to creative production and exceptional sound quality. Each album released by ECM showcases the label's dedication to producing top-notch recordings that captivate listeners with their sonic brilliance.

Ante Lucem, a powerful suite for jazz quintet and symphony orchestra by Finnish pianist/harpist/composer Iro Haarla, was premiered at the Umeå Jazz Festival in October 2012. It was recorded at the Concert Hall of NorrlandsOperan in Umeå, and the album is drawn both from the premiere concert and from sessions on the following days. Ante Lucem is comprised of four separate yet closely linked pieces which reflect in different ways, the composer says, upon the "struggle between darkness and light". 

Personnel: Iro Haarla (piano, harp), Hayden Powell (trumpet), Trygve Seim (soprano &amp; tenor saxophones), Ulf Krokfors (double bass), Mika Kallio (drums &amp; percussion), Norrlands Operans Symfoniorkester, Jukka Iisakkila (conductor)
