Brambus Records
Brambus Records is a small record label based in Chur, Switzerland. It was founded 1988 by Paul Rostetter. In 2013, Brambus Records celebrated 25 years of existence and his 270th released production. The record label is focused on international folk/songwriter and jazz, especially from Switzerland. History In 1987 the life of Paul Rostetter still pursued its accustomed, and somewhat predictable, course; nine to five employment in a Swiss Bank .... However, hearing the complaints of outstanding musicians performing in Chur, that they could never find a congenial record label, Paul immediately spotted a niche, and blue‐eyed and adventurous, sprang into the wide ocean of sounds which deserved to be heard. The English Blues‐Rocker Mick Clarke was the catalyst and, after nearly twenty years in banking, it was also high time for the label's founder Paul Rostetter to start thinking about a new direction. That's how it all began: 1988 saw the release of the first Brambus album: Mi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ECM Records
ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music) is an independent record label founded by Karl Egger, Manfred Eicher and Manfred Scheffner in Munich in 1969. While ECM is best known for jazz music, the label has released a variety of recordings, and ECM's artists often refuse to acknowledge boundaries between genres. ECM's motto is "the most beautiful sound next to silence", taken from a 1971 review of ECM releases in '' Coda'', a Canadian jazz magazine. ECM has been distributed in the U.S. by Warner Bros. Records, PolyGram Records, BMG, and, since 1999, Universal Music, the successor of PolyGram, worldwide. Its album covers were profiled in two books: ''Sleeves of Desire'' and ''Windfall Light'', both published by Lars Müller. History The first ECM release produced by Manfred Scheffner was pianist Mal Waldron's 1969 recording '' Free at Last''. The label went on to release recordings by many prominent jazz musicians, including Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, Chi ...
