Discovered this cool series of interviews with artists associated with ECM like Frisell and David Torn but also many non-guitar players like Steve Swallow and Carla Bley. Very high production value. Check out the creator´s Vimeo channel for even better versions with music.
David Torn is nothing like I imagined he would be! Cool to hear the background on Cloud About Mercury.

Really glad you like them! I think these deserve more attention.
I will check that one out next. Beirach is new to me, but I am sure he is great. One added bonus of these is that I keep discovering a lot of new music through them.

David Torn, such a warm hearted person. I always dug his album with Jan Garbarek, especially the tune Mission: To Be Where I Am
i did the tune not long ago, it has these poppy chords and there’s a modal shift from E to D in the last part. Never sure what to play on this kind of music. David Torn, not a jazzer at all, apparently, pulled it off quite nicely. His solo is worth checking out.
I’d love more ECM music on Jazzguitar.be,
