ECM Records All-Star Night - The Village Gate, New York City, January 19, 1976

The most beautiful sound next to silence comes to NYC. This "all-star night" of ECM-related performers is a delight, with some unique performances and collabs. Things start off nicely with solo sets from Ralph Towner and Steve Kuhn. But the music really starts to cook when John Abercrombie shows up, first for a dazzling duet with Towner and then in a trio with Collin Walcott and Towner, performing the deathless "Timeless." Tabla, 12-string and electric guitar mesh for a truly transportive listening experience. That's just the halfway point though — highlights to come include Walcott's lovely "Marguerite" with Dave Holland and a mini-set from Jack DeJohnette's Gateway Trio. ECM OMG.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Codona The Codona Trilogy October 6, 2008 Free Jazz

This box contains the three mysterious albums by the all-acoustic trio whose members were multi-instrumentalists Collin Walcott, Don Cherry, and Naná Vasconcelos. Codona are not often spoken of for their groundbreaking approach in melding world folk traditions to improvisation and jazz, but they were at the very forefront. Silence, space, interplay, compositional and improvisational discipline, and a sense of humor and playfulness mark these recordings as indispensable parts of the ECM catalog.   - Thom Jurek
