New ECM Vinyl

I've got a bunch of older issues on ECM by Keith Jarret and few other folks. A lot of the music is pretty far out, but they're brilliantly recorded. They're also all at least 20-30 years old. So I was really exited to see a new ECM release on vinyl - Enrico Rava's New York Days. Both the recording and the pressing seem to be up to standard, which is a great thing.

Does anyone know if ECM is planning on making vinyl a regular offering for its new releases? Also, does anyone know if this recording is digital or analogue? It doesn't say anywhere in the jacket. Great Record though.

I have the new Kieth Jarret Yesterdays. Incredible recording...seriously. Slightly better than my older ECMs. My Enrico Rava is on back order...

My dealer says they'll have more titles soon...

I'm curious about the new Kieth Jarret recordings. I like a lot of his music and playing but sometimes his humming or moaning along with his playing can become annoying at times.
Is he doing that on these new recordings?

I've always found it interesting that when Keith Jarrett played with Miles, he didn't make any of the noises he's famous for. He did it before . . . and after. I guess Miles simply wouldn't stand for it.

I know from seeing him live that he actually can make all these noises while he's playing . . . but I sometimes wonder if on a studio recording he wants to be more precise, and multi-tracks it? I can totally see Jarrett in a vocal booth, whining away to his previously-tracked piano . . . maybe wanting to punch-in some moans that weren't quite right . . .

I will copy from another community an interesting Keith Jarret article reference (also on his ECM recordings): http://jazztimes.com/articles/16040-sounds-of-jarrett
