I could be wrong, but I believe that the initials "ECM" have something to do
with the name of the label's producer, Mannfred C. 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).
