ECM Artists Pick their Favourite Albums

Presto Music has shared an article where a variety of ECM recording artists pick their favourite albums from ECM’s vast catalogue. Among the musicians making their choices are Norma Winstone, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Elina Duni, Arild Andersen, Tord Gustavsen and more.

Saxophonist John Surman also participated in this survey. He picked Mick Goodrick‘s In Pas(s)ing, saying:

“I must admit that I was somewhat nervous when I arrived at the studio, since there was no rehearsal time and I had no idea what musical challenges would await me… I remember the session as being totally relaxed and really enjoyable and I think that the album reflects that spirit throughout. I believe that it is also an album that Manfred Eicher looks back on with happy memories. I don’t think that Mick Goodrick has ever quite been given the recognition that he deserves, so anyone who doesn’t know his playing should check out In Pas(s)ing.”
