1 comment :
I was late in discovering Django Bates - but what a revelation when I did !! Having previously seen and enjoyed EST and Tord Gustavsen (the similarities being they are all modern piano-based trios) I was bowled over by his and his trio's refreshingly modern (i.e. contemporary) and distinctive style.
I've seen him live in Gateshead, Wakefield and Huddersfield, and fully support your approval for his inclusion in ECM's burgeoning list of recorded artists. ECM by its very definition covers a range of contemporary music styles, centred on Jazz, world, and more recently, western classical music, so it's good to see another admirer in the fold! So, whilst you have admirably forgiven ECM, will they forgive those disbelievers for missing out on the joy they've brought over many years of music production of the highest quality ? ;)
