ECM (Edition of Contemporary Music) is a German label that is familiar to jazz and contemporary music fans. Since its establishment in 1969, the label has released numerous masterpieces. This book, ``ECM - A Cultural Archaeology,'' is a collection of works published in 2012 at an exhibition held at Haus der Kunst in Munich, which was founded by Hitler and the Nazis. A variety of visuals, including installations, photographs, and films, are compiled together with an anthology of essays and liner notes. The book focuses on the diversity of the ECM culture, as well as the musical aspects of African Americans in Europe in the 1960s, at the height of the American civil rights movement, and the changing relationship between musicians and listeners. This is a very readable book.
