I've discovered lots of great music here.

Here's an artist I recently discovered (and saw live). Bass clarinet player Todd Marcus:

Not too many players working that territory. Give him a listen; you'll be glad you did. He's on all the streamers and on Bandcamp.

Thanks for the tip dB, played a little bass clarinet back in the day myself. Will check him out.

Nice run there ET

Hard to go wrong with ECM, top notch artists & quality recordings. Simply a matter of taste on what moves ya.

I've bought 16 more ECM since Bill gifted me the first, they all sound very good, a few simply amazing. Like CTI, there is a ECM 'sound', so 3 in a row are about it for one sitting.

No question, re: ECM 'sound'. Any Eberhard Weber, John Abercrombie, or Terje Rypdal in that 16 ? Worth checking out imo, all favorites of mine.

Just a great seven-string guitar player and an excellent vocalist. (Hey Asimov, thanks for bringing the Frank Morgan to my attention- one of many great 'finds' I've gotten from this thread.)

So far Metheny/Jarrett/Towner, though did snag Terje Rypdal - 'Waves'.

Nice group of into to ECM. 'Waves' is a good one, lots to check out in their stable, I'm still trying out 'new' folks from time to time.
