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.

A Multitude of Angels is a 4-CD set of recordings from a series of solo concerts in Italy in October 1996, documenting the conclusion of Keith Jarrett's experiments with long-form improvisation in performances from Modena, Ferrara, Turin, and Genoa. These discs fit into the chronology of Keith Jarrett's many live solo recordings after 1995's 'La Scala'. A Multitude of Angels marks the end of the first period of the solo concerts, documented on ECM recordings from the 'Bremen-Lausanne' set to 'Sun Bear Concerts', an era in which Jarrett's spontaneously developmental, free-flowing music could lead the receptive improviser to many different places. "These were the last concerts I played having no breaks within each set," Jarrett explains in his liner notes. The music is characteristically far-reaching: "Jazz is ever present here, alongside my deep closeness with classical music (modern and ancient, Ives and Bach, etc, etc.)" Besides a booklet, the box also includes a comprehsive discography of all Jarrett's many recordings.
