SUMMARY:Presentation: The Story of ECM Records
DESCRIPTION:<p>ECM (Editions of Contemporary Music) is a German record company founded in 1969 by Manfred Eicher. Through a singular vision of atmospheric and spacious international music that started with jazz but later moved beyond, and with distinctive packaging design, ECM is now widely recognized as a major force in shaping all contemporary music, and with a presence extending into the spheres of music festivals and arthouse cinema soundtracks. This class will attempt to serve as a primer, covering ECM’s history and artists with audio-visual samples (Jan Garbarek, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Steve Reich, András Schiff, and many others), while hopefully offering something for the seasoned ECM fan as well, including tips on overlooked gems and on using the library’s Hoopla streaming service, where you can digitally borrow many albums from the ECM label. The librarian presenter has followed ECM for decades and conducted extensive research in preparing this presentation.</p>
