The label's founding concept was \"music that is the next most beautiful thing after silence.\" Its transparent sound, clear tone, and sophisticated, beautiful jacket designs set it apart from other labels and have captivated many fans around the world. It has produced numerous jazz masterpieces such as Keith Jarrett's \"The K?ln Concert\" (1975), Chick Corea's \"Return to Forever\" (1972), and Pat Metheny's \"Bright Size Life\" (1976). In 1984, it expanded its genres and entered the classical music world. ECM has launched the \"ECM New Series,\" which focuses on contemporary music, and has released new works by Arvo P?rt, Gidon Kremer, Heinz Holliger, and others. Eicher, who turned 80 last year, continues to record more than 20 new albums a year, making it one of the most active labels in the pursuit of music. To coincide with the release of the new series \"ECM Revisits,\" commemorating the 55th anniversary of ECM's founding, the \"ECM in the 21st Century\" series, originally released in 2022, is being repressed. This series introduces the current state of ECM, focusing on artists who are currently at the forefront of the music scene. This is the second ECM release from a notable UK pianist\/composer, released in 2019. Downes made his ECM debut in 2018 with \"Obsidian,\" a work in which he played church organ almost entirely solo, and this second ECM album continues that story, expanding and developing the process and core ideas. In this work, he places the organ in a broader context, while also incorporating the piano into a larger compositional picture. In addition to musicians with whom Downes has a long-standing relationship, such as saxophonist Tom Challenger, cellist Lucy Railton, and drummer Sebastian Rockford, this album also marks his first musical encounter with Norwegian guitarist Stian Vestalfuss. \u003cpersonnel\u003e Kit Downes (p) Tom Challenger (ts) Stian Vestalfuss (g) Lucy Railton (cello) Sebastian Rockford (ds) Recorded in November 2018 at St. Paul's Hall, Buttersfield University, Buttersfield, England Media Reviews etc. This is the second ECM release from the UK-based pianist\/composer, released in 2019.
