Eischer. A few other ECM artists to get excited about: John Abercrombie guitar Richard Beirach piano Gary Burton vibes Don Cherry trumpet (plus various gamelan instruments) Egberto Gismonti guitar Nana Vasconcelos percussion Colin Walcott sitar, tabla, hammered dulcimer In addition, ECM was the label on which Chick Corea recorded (in my opinion) his best work: his early solo piano stuff and the Brazilian-flavored first incarnation of "Return to Forever" (with Flora Purim on vocals). --- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") --- {ihnp4,harvard,seismo,gatech,ctvax}!ut-sally!riddle
