ECM is a record label based in Germany with a wide variety of recordings spanning contemporary jazz and classical, but - importantly - the artists associated with it often refuse to acknowledge boundaries between genres. ECM's motto is "The Most Beautiful Sound Next To Silence", a phrase taken from a 1971 review of ECM releases in Coda, a Canadian music magazine.
