Between Sound and Space: ECM Records and Beyond 
Just a note to say thanks for these great shows. Discovered ECM in a Vermont record store that was playing Pat Metheny’s 80/81 back in the day and grabbed a copy. Thanks to the paper insert included with the album I later purchased John Abercrombie’s Timeless and Ralph Towner’s Solstice and got hooked big-time. Over the years my ECM collection and my admiration for the quality of the recordings have grown considerably. And now these shows have turned me on to some new artists and albums I must check out. Well done.
Thank you so much! There’s a lifetime to explore in the ECM catalog…
