What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It’s a real pleasure to hear the stories behind the newest releases from this classic label. I only wish the sound quality of the interviews matched the pristine sound of the recorded music.

AgitatedState · Jan 2023

ECM has been my favorite label since the 70’s. Beautiful music, artwork, and incredible artists! These short vignettes are great insights to some of the artists and their process(es), and feature wonderfully recorded “snippets” of music. As a guitarist, I particularly enjoyed the interview with Jakob Bro (one of my favorite artists). Great little podcast - would love to see it more frequently, and perhaps, in depth… Regardless, thank you!!

CincyJazzman · Aug 2021

I am ECM collector from the start, the highest standard in recorded music. Oddly, these podcasts do not always have excellent quality between interviewer & guests. Sometimes painful to listen to, distortion, etc. Nonetheless, a view into the rareified world of peerless artistry.
