Favorite ECM releases

[g.@.b.]

...Been searching down any Hassell I can find now, but Power Spot is eluding me. Didn't know it was on ECM, makes me want to buy it all the more. Keep seeing really pricey ($20 or more) on Amazon, but have to check which edition (if not all) is on ECM. Can anyone clarify?...

I didn't know there were editions of this album, but here's a link to it via the ECM site: http://tinyurl.com/ywbc5m

...and check out who's playing bass...I always thought that was cool ("oh it's just another bass on earth")

Just a heads up that many ECM titles are available on iTunes for very good prices. For example, one of my favorites, Dave Holland's Conference Of the Birds, is only $5.99.

I really love Power Spot and forgot to include it on my list even though I do own the CD... I too forgot it was on ECM.

Here is my list of ECM favorites:

David Darling: Cello - marvelous tone poems for cello
Norma Winstone: Somewhere Called Home - one of the most underrated jazz singers
Stefan Micus: Ocean/Twilight Fields/To The Evening Child/Wings Over Water - 4 masterpieces from this immense artist/traveler
Agnes Buen Garnas: Rosensfole - a collection of ancient songs from Scandinavia, Jan Garbarek adds his usual touch
Pat Metheny Group: Travels - concert recordings, 5 stars
Pat Metheny: New Chautauqua - an outstanding guitar album
Keith Jarrett: The Sun Bear Concerts - 10Lp's full of incredible piano performances, from atonal to melodic to experimental
Chick Corea: Piano Improvisations vol.1/vol.2 - The best Corea
Arvo Part: Alina - delicate structures for piano
Eleni Karaindrou: the entire discography - fragile, evocative soundscapes for traditional orchestra and choir

Here's my favorite, by far:

Jack DeJohnette, <Oneness>,  very atmospheric, sparse jazz with great percussion
