The making of a masterpiece: Jimmy Giuffre 3 on ECM

 

I already talked about this very double disc in 2009, originally issued as two separate discs on Verve label in 1961, which was the trigger element for a young Manfred Eicher to found his very own ECM 💎; in fact, in later years he was also able to get the rights to re-issue these amazing discs in a single double-set… for posterity and his own pleasure and thanksgiving 💫

Recording was held at Olmsted studio in 1961, at 1 East 54th St. in Manhattan. Here are some cool pictures by Herb Snitzer from a Verve session (Jimmy Giuffre, Steve Swallow and Paul Bley).
