In lyrical homage to French filmmaker Jacques Tati, with pianist Stefano Bollani and drummer Paul Motian.

With the brilliant Italian pianist Stefano Bollani — a mixture of their own compositions, improvisation, and covers, including two versions of Jobim’s Retrato Em Branco Y Preteo.

Live in Juan-les-Pins, 2002, with Peacock and DeJohnette, with two Miles’ and Autumn Leaves magnificently revisited.

The great Italian trumpeter’s homage to Michael Jackson, refreshingly focussing on the later work. Thriller’s here, but the History and Invincible albums are his favourites.

With Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen at Tokyo’s Nakano Sun Plaza in April 1979.

Xavier Charles (clarinet, harmonica), Ivar Grydeland (electric guitar, banjo, sruti), Christian Wallumrod (prepared piano, harmonium), Ingar Zach (gran cassa, percussion).

His own selection from two ECMs and an Emarcy — subverting the big-band tropes second-nature to a large improvising ensemble. ‘Inspired by Gil Evans, Claus Ogerman and Oum Khalsoum.’

The clarinettist with keys and electric guitar: chamber-improv, polyrhythms and ambience, rhapsodic piano and funky Fender, clarinet soliloquies, counterpoint, a little Bitches Brew, some North African…

Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard.

The harpist from Christian Wallumrod’s ensemble, with the Magical Orchestra singer, plus viola and nyckelharpa — performing Purcell, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, and a couple of Susanna’s.

Live in Brazil, April, 2011. ‘At his most exuberant… it’s a must’ (The Guardian). ‘Beautifully structured, jazzy, serious, sweet, playful, warm, economical, energetic, passionate’ (KJ. His mum likes it, too).

His Batagraf percussion project with Helge Norbakken from Jon Hassell’s group (playing djembe, talking drum, sabar, garong) — inspired by Wolof, Yoruba, Cuban, Arab music — with singing and poetry. Check it!

With celebrated socialist protest singer Maria Farantouri, and CL’s quartet featuring Jason Moran augmented by a lyra player and second pianist: Theodorakis, traditional Greek music, Eleni Karaindrou, Dream Weaver…

Fabulous music-making, as ever from the Argentinian bandoneon-player, with his clarinettist brother Felix, and cellist Anja Lechner.

‘I pushed myself to write songs and dances uninfluenced by the sophistication of contemporary musical languages, pieces that might have been played on archaic instruments a thousand years ago.’

‘A sensual, haunting and reflective road movie that captures the magic of music.’ Grafelfing to Athens, Udine to Carthage, Tallinn to Pernes-les-Fontaines, Copenhagen to Salta in Argentina.

Solo, playing classical and 12 string guitars as if he were eight-handed — with a version of Goodbye, Pork Pie Hat and a Scott LaFaro in amongst the originals.

‘... sumptuous lyricism rich in improvisational detail…  Quite simply it numbers among the best jazz albums of the last decade’ (Jazzwise).
