Manfred Eicher and ECM top DownBeat Critics Poll
Manfred Eicher is voted Producer of the Year and ECM Records is Label of the Year 2008 in the DownBeat Critics Poll: this double-win is announced in the August issue of internationally renowned DownBeat magazine,which includes full results of their 56th Annual International Critics
Poll.
The awards arrive as Munich-based ECM, founded 1969, approaches its 40th anniversary year. While Eicher won DownBeat's Top Producer award in 1976, and ECM was Label of the Year in 1980, the 2008 poll marks the very first occasion that label and producer have simultaneously held the #1 slot.
Eicher and his independent label have received significant recognition
over the years, notably Eicher's Grammy for Classical Producer of the
Year in 2002, and most recently in 2007 by receiving awards as both
Classical Label of the Year and Jazz Label of the Year (prizes from,
respectively, the MIDEM Classical Awards in Cannes, and the Jazz
Journalists Association).
