50 years ago, in November 1969, the first ECM album was recorded, Mal Waldron’s Free At Last, made under the supervision of Manfred Eicher. Over the following five decades, a further 1600 recordings have been made: half a century of continuous work as an independent label with one artistic director. Around the world, a number of special events mark this milestone.
Stay tuned for special releases, festivals and exhibitions. More news soon…
