 | | Description: | For Lullaby, Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick draws on the quartet formation in a programme that includes some of his most exploratory and improvisatory qualities, with a cast of ECM familiars Kristjan Randalu and Ole Morten VÃ¥gan on piano and bass, and new arrival Hans Hulbækmo on drums. Thereâ??s a sense of abandon within these melodic songs, as the musicians flow smoothly between harmonies, collectively building momentum from within the forms. Eickâ??s immediately recognizable and soothing tone is often confronted by Randaluâ??s in turns lyrical and energetic keyboard-flights, soaring above a propulsive, always engaging rhythm section. The album was recorded at Rainbow Studio in Oslo. - Vinyl LP pressing.

Runouts are stamped."Lullaby" is an LP that brings together trumpeter Mathias Eick with pianist Kristjan Randalu, bassist Mats Eilertsen Vagan (if applicable) and drummer Helga Myhr Hulbækmo in a characteristically subtle and spacious ECM Records production. Centered around lyrical melodies, warm trumpet lines and finely detailed interplay, this album explores a nocturnal, reflective mood without ever becoming static. Gentle grooves, carefully placed piano harmonies and a supple rhythmic foundation create a sound world that feels both intimate and expansive, ideal for late-night listening or moments of quiet concentration. The recording emphasizes clarity and natural room acoustics, allowing every nuance of the ensemble's communication to emerge.
ECM Records, founded in 1969 by producer Manfred Eicher, is renowned for its audiophile sound, minimalist cover art and a catalog that spans modern jazz, contemporary classical music and genre-defying projects. The label has helped shape the careers of many influential European and international artists, consistently placing emphasis on artistic integrity, sonic precision and innovative repertoire. Its productions are distinguished by careful microphone placement, dynamic range and a focus on musical space, all of which are clearly present on "Lullaby."
Mathias Eick has become one of the key voices of contemporary European jazz trumpet, known for his singing tone, melodic clarity and a compositional style that blends Nordic lyricism with subtle rhythmic drive. With recordings for ECM and collaborations across the European jazz scene, he has earned international recognition and critical praise, often highlighted for his ability to craft memorable themes and emotionally resonant improvisations. Pianist Kristjan Randalu is respected as a versatile and technically refined improviser, moving fluidly between jazz and contemporary classical idioms, while the rhythm section complements them with sensitivity and restraint. Together, they shape "Lullaby" into a cohesive artistic statement that typifies ECM's focus on detail, atmosphere and musical storytelling. | | | No. of tracks: |
