mahgister I have been listening to a lot of the Scandinavian musicians, old and new, over this past summer.
All of them, old and new, are extremely talented and diverse musicians.
Garbarek and his 4 bandmates I listed that played with him on the 1970 album titled Afric Pepperbird recorded the majority of their music on the ECM label.
ECM, since its inception in 1969, has welcomed the majority of jazz artists that are, shall we say, a breed apart. The music these artists create simply cannot be called "jazz"
The music on ECM label releases has been called many things.
avant garde, diverse, world, improv, and free are 5 words that have been used but I myself prefer the word "creative"
Please post your favorite creative Scandinavian artists songs. I always enjoy new music that I am unfamiliar with.
EST’s "When Everyone Has Gone" is one of my favorites. This one also gets repeated listening sessions:
