Gateway

Part of the new 'Touchstones' series of specially-priced and newly packaged albums from ECM's back catalogue. All featuring the original artwork and brand new packaging - double cardboard sleeves reminiscent of the original LPs.

The Gateway trio was one of ECM's great, early ensembles and all three would go on to record many masterpieces for the label. This is intense, fiery (even sometimes rockish) music that defies categorization. DownBeat spoke of its "daring and visionary spirit" in a 5-star review.
