Stuart Nicholson wrote in the BBC Music magazine of the ":rarum" series: "... selected by the artists themselves, this series is of enormous importance in revealing the breadth of each artist's work, as much for the converted as the unconverted .
Recorded between 1971 & 1994. Includes liner notes by Terje Rypdal.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
This is part of ECM Records "Rarum" series.
Rarum Vol VII
ReplyDeleteRarum Selected Recordings Vol 1-8 is a limited edition Box Set collecting the ECM's artist's choice anthology series, by Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Bill Frisell, Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Terje Rypdal and Bobo Stenson.
Each release is beautifully presented in a digipak with striking matt colours and includes archive photography, a personal statement by the musician and a discography. The anthologies have been remastered to 96khz/24-bit format. The Rarum project does not limit the musicians to selecting material from their own dates: They also have freedom to select recordings on which they appear as guests or sidemen. In following the series a sense of how bands were built--and reputations made--can be gained. Rarum is also a musical history lesson--the series will eventually expand to around 30 volumes, building up to a superlative library of jazz on ECM.
These are truly magnificent cds, each a masterpiece in its own right and each a historic document superbly recorded and presented. The most essential and most rewarding series in all of time so far.
