Its recording artists include Pat Metheny, Jack DeJonette, Carla Bley, Eberhard Weber, Keith Jarrett, Denny Zeitlin, and Charlie Haden. Some avant-garde classical music (works composed and performed by Steve Reich, in particular) is also released on the label. Distribution in this country is through the WEA (Warner/Elektra/Asylum) group, and is limited, unfortunately, to the talent most suitable to American tastes. What comes over here, though, is high quality music with quality control quite far ahead of the normal stuff that you will find (though not quite at WH's level). Good starter stuff? Give Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert or Pat Metheny's New Chatauqua a try. --From the birthplace of FSM (1964-1984), --Nick Cuccia --ucbvax!cuccia
