Crispell Marilyn/Anders Jormin: Memento [CD]

Cohen Avishai: Big Vicious [CD]

Trumpetaren<b> Avishai Cohens</b> nya album från ECM, med innovativ improvisationsmusik skapad i stunden, är The Guardians Jazz Album of the Month! <i>"Listeners all the way from Miles Davis' muted-trumpet soliloquies on 1960's 'Sketches of Spain' to Tord Gustavsen's meticulous 21st-century ensemble jazz will find plenty they recognise - and more besides - in Cohen's quietest but maybe boldest adventure."</i>

Mathias Eick Group: When We Leave [CD]

Sheppard Andy: Romaria [CD]

Digipack.<br/><br/>An unceasingly brilliant contributor to, we believe, more ECM studio recordings than any other musician, Jon Christensen finally has an album released under his own name. Band-leading has seldom been the great Oslo drummer's priority but in his selection of tracks for his :rarum disc, there is no mistaking the way in which Christensen has driven some mighty ensembles from his seat at the back. Titanic performances from Keith Jarrett's "Belonging" group, Terje Rypdal's "Waves" band, the Bobo Stenson Trio, Ralph Towner and more.

Mark Turner Quartet Lathe of Heaven Mark Turner: tenor saxophone; Avishai Cohen: trumpet; Joe Martin: double bass; Marcus Gilmore: drums <br/><br/>Mark Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, renowned for his intimate expressivity on the full range of the tenor. Lathe of Heaven is his ECM leader debut, following albums for the label in the cooperative trio Fly with Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard, and appearances on ECM recordings by Billy Hart, Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollani. Turner leads a quartet of kindred spirits here, often entwining long serpentine lines with rising-star trumpeter Avishai Cohen, underpinned by the lithe and powerful rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmore.Lathe of Heaven, produced by Manfred Eicher at New York's Avatar Studio in June 2013, has a long-breathed essence characteristic of Turner's work, with melody taking primacy.
