ECM Records Podcast

Booking Overview

A music interview series focused on the ECM Records catalog and the creative ideas behind its releases, typically featuring established ECM recording artists discussing new albums and their musical practices. Credible pitches include accomplished jazz and contemporary-music instrumentalists, singers, composers, and bandleaders with notable recordings or releases; booking is likely high-difficulty for clients without an ECM relationship or a relevant album connection.
