Review by Mindy Dierks

Elm, the latest album by Richard Beirach, is a stunning collection of jazz piano pieces that showcase the artist's virtuosity and creativity. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, including interpretations of classic tunes like "Stella by Starlight" and "I Hear a Rhapsody". From the opening notes of "Elm", the album's title track, Beirach sets a tone of introspection and contemplation, with his delicate touch and lyrical phrasing drawing the listener in. Throughout the album, Beirach's playing is both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, with each piece taking the listener on a journey through a range of moods and feelings. Whether he's playing a ballad like "My Funny Valentine" or a more up-tempo number like "All of You", Beirach's playing is always engaging and dynamic. The album is a testament to Beirach's skill as a musician and his ability to create beautiful and engaging music that speaks to the heart and soul. Fans of jazz piano will find much to love in Elm, and it is sure to become a cherished addition to any collection.

Some statements of Richie re Manfred Eicher are very similar to what I've read in Eberhard Weber's Autobiography. If he (Manfred Eicher) doesn't like what you do (in the studio) you're gonna have a problem. Can't be nice all the time. But, as Richie says at the same time, he's a great producer though, if not the greatest with regard to the sound he created.

My brother Kevin turned me onto ECM and Sound Suggestions and it was mind blowing Jazz music...Eicher was a genius in those early days of ECM.. I recently heard some current ECM...the magic is gone. .sorry too say...a label needs that driving force to steer the ship....the ship ran aground ..great things come in waves. .

This is a wonderful interview! Elm is one of my favorite ECM releases and I was always in awe of "Snow Leopard," but it always felt very out of place on the LP. I am so ecstatic that Richard deeply discussed this topic. Thank you for sharing!

I met Beirach one night many years ago while trolling-around the lower West Village in NYC. He invited me up for an impromptu Piano Lesson! - Amazing!, as he is one of my Favorite Pianist, period!...a very odd Dude, though - at least back in 1992!
