Summary

In 1969, musical producer Manfred Eicher founded a music label in Munich by the name of Edition of Contemporary Music. Its first album was Free at Last, by American pianist Mal Waldron, and more than a thousand albums later, ECM has become a model of integrity and independence whose meticulous recordings have set a new standard in the music industry. In this first book dedicated to ECM, Steve Lake and Paul Griffiths utilize multiple perspectives to explain and analyze the varied and valuable work carried out by this extraordinary company. This is a carefully illustrated work that includes extensive interviews with Manfred Eicher, more than 20 essays about the various aspects of the extensive labor that has been carried out over the past 40 years, and a hundred contributions from singers, songwriters, designers, and engineers whose voices come together to form a collective oral history of ECM.
