Have you ever been in a conversation where the subject always seems to be changing? I'm talking about where there are several different people in the conversation, and one guy chips in with "classic jazz", and another "fusion" of which there are several types.
To be honest, I can't contribute very well or enjoy that kind of conversation.
Dave, you seem to be interested in ECM, if so, why don't you contribute some of what you have enjoyed over the years in your collection. I don't specifically mean that record label, but in general that type of music.

As a child, I watched those freight trains pass by and counted the cars; now I have books about all sorts of trains. St. Louis to San Antonio was my longest train ride; not bad if you have a sleeper. I watched the weather change from Spring with green grass and yellow flowers, to Winter and snow piled up on a ride from St. Louis to Detroit; it's fun looking out your window and watching it happen.
"Offramp" is my favorite album by Pat, and one of my favorite albums period. I saw him live on a big boat on the Mississippi River.
