Decca Broadway's catalog features over 55 Tony Award winning performances for "Best Musical." #### ECM Founded by producer Manfred Eicher in 1969, ECM soon established an early reputation with standard-setting jazz recordings by artists such as Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, Jan Garbarek, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, before expanding the program to include contemporary compositions in the late 1970s. The ECM New Series was launched in 1984, originally to introduce Arvo Pärt's "Tabula Rasa", and has since become a broad platform for a wide variety of composed music from the pre-baroque era to the present day. Eicher's own background, as a musician active in both jazz and classical music, provided an unusually broad vantage point from which to survey the genres, and the producer has been credited with helping to bring form to improvised music and a sense of 'improvisational' flexibility to recordings of contemporary composition. ### Featured News #### MASS APPEAL AND UNIVERSAL MUSIC INDIA TO LAUNCH MASS APPEAL INDIA Aug 20, 2019 #### UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP AND DAKIA GLOBAL ENTERPRISE FORM JOINT VENTURE TO DEVELOP NEW MUSIC-BASED EXPERIENTIAL HOSPITALITY CATEGORY Aug 19, 2019 #### MAREN MORRIS SIGNS WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP FOR EXCLUSIVE ADMINISTRATION DEAL Aug 01, 2019 #### MIKE BIGGANE TO JOIN UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP AS EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF MUSIC STRATEGIES AND TACTICS Jul 30, 2019 #### QUEEN'S ICONIC "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" VIDEO REACHES HISTORIC 1 BILLION VIEWS MILESTONE ON YOUTUBE Jul 22, 2019 #### UNIVERAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP SIGNS IDRIS ELBA TO GLOBAL PUBLISHING DEAL Jun 26, 2019 #### TROY TOMLINSON NAMED CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP NASHVILLE Jun 17, 2019 #### Universal Music Publishing Group's Jackie Alway To Be Recognised in The Queen's Birthday Honours with an Order of The British Empire Jun 08, 2019 #### UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP AND SUPER HI-FI PARTNER TO ENHANCE LISTENING EXPERIENCES ON DIGITAL MUSIC SERVICES Jun 05, 2019 #### UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP SIGNS ROSALÍA TO GLOBAL CO-PUBLISHING DEAL Jun 04, 2019 #### Dolby Atmos Music – Experience Music Like Never Before May 23, 2019 #### LOGIC SIGNS WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP FOR EXCLUSIVE GLOBAL ADMINISTRATION OF SONG CATALOG May 21, 2019 #### BRITTNEY RAMSDELL PROMOTED TO SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, FILM & TV SYNCHRONIZATION FOR REPUBLIC RECORDS, DEF JAM RECORDINGS, ISLAND RECORDS AND VERVE LABEL GROUP May 16, 2019 #### WILL TANOUS PRESENTED WITH THE PRESTIGIOUS ELLIS ISLAND MEDAL OF HONOR May 13, 2019 #### UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC EXPANSION WITHIN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND APPOINTS CALVIN WONG AS CEO FOR THE REGION May 08, 2019 ##### View all news ## Like being first?
