As the founder of ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music) company says “Our music is the best next thing to the silence”. Overextended sounds, stressed pauses, the mood of loneliness. Very soft chamber sound of the music. Acoustic instruments are carfully ornamented by the electronic ones. This record company had founded the unique school in contemporary jazz and still developes it. Amongst the stars of different periods are John Abercrombie, Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Peter Molvaer, Kenny Wheeler, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Tomasz Stanko, Jan Garbarek and many others.
