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.

American jazz pianist and composer, Keith Jarrett was born on May 8, 1945 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He began playing the piano at the age of three and continued until 2018 when he suffered two strokes that left him partially paralyzed.

Keith Jarrett is known for his own music publishing house. He has also made significant contributions to the jazz genre as a pianist and composer.

Notably, Keith Jarrett is the older brother of renowned pianist and composer [insert name] and singer-songwriter [insert name].

'Creation' signals a departure from the 'traditions' of Keith Jarrett's many ECM recordings of solo improvised piano.  After reviewing all the music from his 2014 performances, Keith Jarrett honed in on the most revelatory episodes from six concerts in Toronto, Tokyo, Paris and Rome and sequenced them, effectively creating a new concert, a new suite of pieces with its own inner logic and momentum. The concept opens up fresh possibilities, extending the improviser's art to include an intuitive reassembling of material. The resultant album is perhaps the most strongly lyrical of Jarrett's recent solo releases, the choice of music emphasizing pieces in which there is a sense of song being born, voices striving to be heard. 'Creation' also offers the most up-to-the minute account of Jarrett's uncanny capacity to construct compelling music in real-time: his melodic-harmonic imagination as an improviser and his ability to consistently find and shape new forms remain, after all these years of solo concerts, remarkable.
