I think ECM "bland" is about right...., posted on October 4, 2024 at 14:12:09

i have listened to a piece earlier in the day and thought--why would I listen to this. later the same day or on another day, same piece andim thinking--what's wrong with me, this is GOOD. it's not always the case but it happens.

Tord's music has always been a slow thing but after many years after my first hearing of his earlier work and I feel that he has progressed a lot and I am finding this piece to be very interesting. yu may never warm up to him but I liked his similarity to Bill Evans in the early works but this is now diverged from the Evans effect.

this is the thing that streaming from Tidal or Qobuz is good for.
