Somewhere around in here it occurred to me that I had made four or five records and was so concerned with developing a band and a way of thinking and playing that was attempting to offer alternative views to the implications of the larger jazz tradition that I had somewhat neglected to address in a recording environment the music that I had played the most and longest in its more conventional setting.
I had always loved the playing of both Charlie Haden and Dewey Redman and had gotten to know both of them from the days when I was playing with Gary Burton and they were playing with Keith Jarrett and the two bands would occasionally do gigs together around the States. I had recently met and played with the amazingly gifted Mike Brecker who seemed to be an underutilized musical force at that time, and I had known Jack Dejohnette for a few years by then and had always hoped to do something with him.
Jack and Charlie had never played together before this session, nor had Dewey and Mike, but part of the idea was to set up these new connections between people who were real favorites to me and to see if what I thought could happen between all of us might work.
This piece “Everyday (I Thank You)” was written for this session in a hotel room in Bremen, Germany late one night after a gig. Mike Brecker has often talked about how he felt this record was a turning point for him, that he discovered something on this date about the way he played that affected things that he did later. To me, this is one of his finest recordings and the way he played this piece was really special and beyond anything I had hoped for. Charlie and Jack proved to be a magic combination, later utilized as a rhythm section by lots of people. And this record began a recording association and a deepened friendship between Charlie and I that has proven to be one of the most important relationships in my life. And one the best parts of this date was how much fun we all had making it – it was probably the most pleasant experience of all of the recording sessions I had during the ECM days.
Pat Metheny’s notes for the 2004 ECM :rarum IX
Homenagem ao virtuoso trompetista e compositor Tomasz Stańko [11 Julho 1942 – 29 Julho 2018]. Pelo modo como deixava o trompete respirar, era por vezes apelidado de Miles Davis polaco.
A primeira gravação para a ECM ocorreu em 1976 com Balladyna e teve a participação de Dave Holland. Em 1981, colaborou no álbum de Gary Peacock Voice from the Past – Paradigm com Jan Garbarek e Jack DeJohnette. Ainda durante a década de 80 integrou a Cecil Taylor’s big band.
Com o seu Quarteto, gravou Suspended Night em 2004 e Lontano em 2006, ambos aclamados nos EUA e na Europa. O último trabalho de Tomasz Stańko que Manfred Eicher produziu para a ECM foi December Avenue de 2017.

Se esta posta não se enquadra nos seus gostos musicais, até jazz…
Mas já que continua a ler…
A ECM tem em curso uma campanha de preços baratos, para variar. A selecção Touchstones contém 40 obras abaixo dos 10 euros; como não há milagres, a coisa resume-se a um cd dentro de uma capinha de cartão, sem o habitual livrinho.
Das minhas preferências, destaco uma peça que ouvi ontem:
Após os primeiros acordes da sítara de Collin Walcott (surge imediatamente o som familiar de Ravi Shankar) dá-se uma feliz fusão com o baixo de Dave Holland, cheia de tons quentes! Quanto à guitarra de John Abercrombie, primeiro estranha-se…
Collin Walcott – sitar, tabla
John Abercrombie – guitar
Dave Holland – bass
Jack DeJohnette – drums
